I just fired up my 27" evenheat with rampmaster control. It took about 8 hours to get to a little over 1000 degrees and then stopped. When I look inside it looks like the elements are all heating. It's not giving me any errors. Heat ramp is set on 9999. Any ideas?
 
Check all setting parameters. If nothing appears off, call Evenheat Tech Support.

Maybe try diagnose whether due to fault TC, run 900F 9999 ramp segment1 - it should takes about 20-30 minutes to get there. Then 1050F Segment 2, of course it won't get there in your case, which mean TC resistance is maxed-out at ~1000F due to faulty TC resistance curve(a crack or kink in the U bend - eventually would burnt out and maybe then controller would give tc error).
 
if it is elements, I dread this happening to my Paragon as I haven't a clue where to get a new set of elements I the UK.

On 1000 F elements would have some kind of gray color ...and it would be hard to determine that they work ? Did they have red color ? If they glow red or yellow so you can really see that they work ,then TC is fault ?
 
Awhile back I had a similar problem with my Paragon. I turned it off, re-programed it and then it worked fine.
 
My stupid fault. I wasn't thinking and wired something wrong. I dropped a leg on the 220.
