It's the flame failure sensor that sits beside a burner and keeps the gas valve open only while the flame is burning. Length matters with thermocouples, as the lead has to reach from the burner to the gas tap without strain, so measure your old one against the 500mm length of this part.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy a Blanco burner goes out when you release the knob\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePressing and holding the knob opens the safety valve by hand so the burner can light. After a few seconds of flame, the thermocouple generates enough millivolts to hold the valve open by itself. A tired thermocouple can't produce that voltage, so the burner dies as soon as you let go or flickers out during cooking. Tips also get burnt, bent or coated in spills. Clean the tip gently and check it sits in the flame first, and if the burner still won't stay lit, the thermocouple is due for replacement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePart details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenuine Blanco part 0290003\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGas cooktop flame failure thermocouple\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e500mm length\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLicensed gas fitter installation required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"part-specs\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eLength\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e500mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eInstalling the cooktop thermocouple\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThermocouples are part of the gas safety system, so have a licensed gas fitter install this one. Shut off the gas supply and turn the cooktop off at the power point before the fitter starts. They'll unscrew the old lead from the gas tap, clip the new tip into the burner bracket at the same height, avoid tight kinks in the 500mm lead and test that the flame failure works.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eQuestions about this part\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWill a different length thermocouple work?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eStick with the length the burner was designed for. A lead that's too short won't reach the gas tap, and one that's much longer has to be coiled under the cooktop. This part is 500mm, so measure your old one or check its number before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blanco","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44551223148622,"sku":"0290003","price":69.3,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/partsshop.com.au\/products\/0290003-genuine-blanco-cooktop-thermocouple-500mm","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
