Title: Kiln error message and lots of beeping !
Post by: Les on November 21, 2012, 12:56:52 PM
My MAXI just suddenly started shouting at me ... reading an error message (can't remember the number, I panicked and turned it off), and the temp was showing at 700+ degrees .... anyone had this problem before ?

:-[ :( :(

I remember someone having this issue a while ago. Claire Morris, maybe, and I think Sal too. I suggest you get hold of Lee asap, to be honest

I've had it for at least 4 years now ... it was one of the original test models. I have never had a day's trouble with it until today. They are a great workhorse :)
