>     had to let it  cool down to replace the elements, 

    By some coincidence, Orchidians are talking about kilns going out
    and after 13 years of great service mine went out.  It got up to
    temp then when I checked back it was cooling down (casting came out
    fine luckily!!).  How do you determine if its the elements or
    thermostat?  Do you keep some on hand for emergency?  Is fixing a 13
    year old Kerr worth it or get a new one? 

Thanks for any enlightenment!  Marta
