Factory Refurbished Jen-Ken AF3C 11/9 Ceramic Kiln

This listing features a factory refurbished Jen-Ken AF3C 11/9 Ceramic Kiln. If marked as in-stock, it can ship promptly. Refurbishments are performed by the same technicians who originally built the kiln, so performance remains consistent with the factory standard. Please note that refurbished units may have minor cosmetic imperfections. They are sold as-is and are not returnable for cosmetic concerns. Each unit is tested and guaranteed to be working, backed by the same manufacturer warranty you’d receive with a new kiln, delivering significant savings without sacrificing reliability.

Ideal uses and firing capabilities

  • Designed for new ceramic hobbyists and small-scale projects, with reliable low-fire performance for cone 04–06 firings.
  • Excellent for small pieces, test firings, and refining designs before scale production.
  • Suitable for glass applications as well—the AF3C can be used for fusing and slumping glass projects.

Controls and firing precision

The AF3C controller comes with easy-to-use cone-fire programs, enabling repeatable firings and consistent results. Jen-Ken offers a range of controller options through partnerships with top manufacturers, allowing you to choose the controller that best fits your workflow. One of the premium options available is the TAP Touchscreen Smart Controller by SDS Industries, praised for simplifying firings and improving overall control.

Electrical requirements and installation tips

  • Operates on a standard 120V, 15A home outlet.
  • For optimal performance, Jen-Ken recommends a dedicated 20A circuit with a full 120V supply (not 110V or 115V).
  • Includes a Solid State Relay for efficient power cycling, tighter temperature control, longer element life, and reduced electrical costs compared to traditional relays.

Included accessories

  • Stand
  • Manual

Warranty, price, and shipping

This kiln is backed by the manufacturer’s warranty just like a new unit, offering the same protection with the added value of refurbishment. The seller provides a price guarantee to beat competitor pricing and offers free standard shipping on qualifying orders, making the total price you see the total price you pay.

Note on setup and environment

To unlock the kiln’s full potential, ensure your workspace is properly configured and that you’re using appropriate electrical and ventilation setup for safe operation.
