Belling wok burner won't stay lit

A thermocouple is the flame failure safety device on a gas burner. Its tip sits in the flame and, once hot, produces a tiny voltage that holds the gas valve open. If the flame goes out, the tip cools, the voltage drops and the valve shuts off the gas. When the thermocouple wears out, the burner lights while you hold the knob in but dies within seconds of letting go, or drops out randomly while cooking. Check first that the tip is clean and sitting in the flame, and that the burner cap and crown are seated properly.

Gas safety and fitting

Turn the gas off at the appliance isolation valve or cylinder and isolate the power before starting. In Australia, gas appliance work must be carried out by a licensed gas fitter, who will leak test the connection afterwards. The thermocouple screws into the gas valve at one end and clips into the burner at the other, so route and secure the new one the same way as the old. Never use the burner until it has been tested.
