140054234038 Genuine Grill Burner Thermocouple 400mm for Electrolux Group Gas Ovens and Cookers, Grill Flame Failure Thermocouple

Part 140054234038 is the genuine Electrolux group thermocouple for a gas grill burner, listed at 400mm. It belongs in Electrolux group gas ovens and freestanding cookers that have a gas grill. The oven burner uses its own thermocouple under a different number, so check you're replacing the grill one, and match the length and part number on your old part.

Gas grill goes out when you let go of the knob?

The thermocouple's tip sits in the grill burner flame. Heat on the tip makes a small voltage that holds the safety valve open, so gas keeps flowing only while there's a flame. If the burner blows out, the valve closes within seconds. A failing thermocouple makes the grill drop out after you release the knob, cut out part way through cooking, or need holding in far longer than normal. Grill thermocouples sit close to intense heat and fat spatter, so tips often crack or get coated over time.

Have a gas fitter replace it

Only a licensed gas fitter should replace a thermocouple. Isolate the gas and switch the cooker off at the wall before the grill burner is accessed. Keep the new lead clear of the burner and hot surfaces, follow the old routing and don't overtighten the fitting at the valve. A leak test and a check that the grill holds its flame complete the job.

Questions about this part

Is the grill thermocouple the same as the oven one?

Not necessarily. Electrolux lists separate thermocouples for the grill burner and the oven burner, often in different lengths. This one is the 400mm grill burner version. Send your cooker model through the parts enquiry form if you'd like us to confirm.
