Hi Lili!

First of all: how old are the elements?
Elements, literally "burn up " in time. It is very possible that your
elements are so old that they no longer are capable of producing any
kind of heat. Has the kiln firing slowed down recently? Really no
need to test the elements for resistance, if any of the above is
true, just replace them. Amaco can make you some new elements, just
give them the Voltage, Phase and model number of the old Knight kiln...

HMP and always of good courage,

Rogier (back to the oxygen...)
