    Marta, It is definitely worth fixing, especially if it's a Kerr.
    There are several things that can malfunction and cause a no or low
    heat problem. I had a door switch go once that slowed me down for a
    day or so. The main switch can go as well and cause the same no heat
    symptom. My Kerr furnace has three elements. It still heated (slowly)
    with one element busted. After you unplug the kiln you can check all
    the components with a fairly simple meter. If you don't know
    electricity, get a friend that (really) does. Gesswein is the closest
    tool company to me that stocks or can get parts drop shipped to me
    sometimes overnight. I have three different brand kilns. Maintenance
    and repair is usually cheaper.  John, J.A.Henkel Co., Inc.,
