I'm so confused, I don't really know which part is bad and I think the easiest thing to do is buy a new kiln and deal with repairing the Fuseboxx II later.

From your description above, there are three things that could be wrong:

Thermocouple is sending wrong temperature to the controller.
Controller is malfunctioning.
Relay is sticking ( I tend to doubt this because once they fail they do
not continue to work, usually).
