Question
My Duncan kiln Mod. # EA 1029-2 makes a loud buzzing noise as soon as I turn it on. So as not to create further damage I shut it off immediately HELP!!!
Hi Jessica, Its more than likely the electrical contact breaker than switches on and off while the Temp. goes up. Quite often the contacts get a build particles between them and doesn't allow a clean contact. Call an electrician that works on kilns. If you don't know an electrician call the closest school, college, University that have kilns and they will know of one
