Orton controller issue
I have a Paragon Bluebird XL kiln purchased December 2012. Despite only being fired a few dozen times, the controller has quit working. Warranty was only one year. I've been told the new controller is $272 U.S. The kiln itself was $950 so the cost of the controller is a significant amount. Has anyone else experienced problems with the Orton Sentry Xpress controller? I am so disappointed and upset with this kiln that I thought was a good brand. Can we really expect to have to replace an almost $300 part every two years? I need to know if it's even worth fixing if this is a common and ongoing issue.
So sad I could cry! Any input would be greatly appreciated.
