Electrolux also lists it as A04726116. It is on file for the Electrolux EHG range, from the EHG635BE and EHG645SE to the EHG755SE, the EHG953BE and the EHG955SE.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eGas burner won't stay alight? The thermocouple may be faulty\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tip of the thermocouple sits in the burner flame and produces a tiny voltage when hot, which holds the gas valve open. If the flame goes out, the voltage drops and the valve shuts off the gas, so unburnt gas cannot keep flowing. When the thermocouple weakens, the burner lights while you hold the knob in but goes out as soon as you let go, or it drops out a few minutes later. A bent tip that no longer sits in the flame causes the same problem.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePart details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenuine Electrolux group part 4055538658\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlso listed as A04726116\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrkli thermocouple, 500mm long\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlame failure safety sensor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eListed for Electrolux EHG gas models\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"part-specs\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eLength\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e500mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMake\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOrkli\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFitting by a licensed gas fitter\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThermocouples form part of the gas safety system, so in Australia they must be replaced by a licensed gas fitter. Turn off the gas and isolate power to the appliance before any work. The fitter will route the new lead clear of hot surfaces and sharp edges, tighten it into the valve and confirm the burner stays alight after the knob is released.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eQuestions about this part\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long is this thermocouple?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is 500mm long.
