140048737013 Genuine Triple Crown Burner Thermocouple for Electrolux Group Gas Cooktops, Orkli Flame Failure Thermocouple

The triple crown is the big multi-ring wok burner found on many Electrolux group gas cooktops, and 140048737013 is the genuine thermocouple Electrolux lists for it. The description names Orkli as the maker of the thermocouple itself. Length and models aren't on file, so compare the old thermocouple and its part number before ordering.

Signs the triple crown burner thermocouple has failed

Every gas burner on a modern cooktop has flame failure protection. On the triple crown burner, this thermocouple sits in the flame and generates a small current that keeps the gas valve open while the burner is lit. Without that current, the valve closes and the gas stops. Classic symptoms are a burner that lights but dies as soon as you release the knob, one that cuts out at low settings, or one you have to hold in for a long time. A cracked or carbon-coated tip is often visible on inspection.

Fitting by a licensed gas fitter

Gas work in Australia has to be done by a licensed gas fitter. Shut off the gas supply and switch the cooktop off at the wall before any work starts. Note how the old lead is routed and clipped, as the new one should follow the same path. After fitting, the fitter should leak test the connections and confirm the burner holds a flame on high and low.

Questions about this part

Will this fit the smaller burners on my cooktop?

No. Electrolux lists 140048737013 for the triple crown burner, and each smaller burner has its own thermocouple, often a different length or number. Send your cooktop model through the parts enquiry form if you need the matching part for another burner.
