This OEM thermocouple replaces Smeg 948650224, which is also listed as 948650233. It's 1500mm long and is on file for the Smeg CS9GVXA. Being an aftermarket part made to the original specification, it fits the same way, but compare the length and end fittings with your old one before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy a Smeg gas oven burner won't stay alight\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA thermocouple is a flame failure safety device. Its tip sits in the burner flame, and the heat generates a small voltage that holds the gas valve open. If the flame goes out, the voltage drops and the valve shuts off the gas. As thermocouples age, the tip corrodes or the lead gets damaged, and the voltage falls too low. The classic symptom is a burner that lights while you hold the knob in, then goes out a few seconds after you release it. A tip knocked out of the flame causes the same fault.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePart details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOEM replacement for Smeg 948650224\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlso listed as 948650233\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLength 1500mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlame failure thermocouple for gas ovens\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eListed for Smeg CS9GVXA\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\u003e1500mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eGas work needs a licensed gas fitter\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn Australia, work on gas appliances must be done by a licensed gas fitter. Turn off the gas supply and the power before any panels come off. The fitter will route the lead the same way as the old one, keep it clear of hot surfaces, tighten the valve connection carefully and position the tip correctly in the flame, then test for leaks and confirm the burner stays alight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eQuestions about this part\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs 1500mm the right length for my oven?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e1500mm is the length listed for 948650224 on the Smeg CS9GVXA. Length matters because the lead has to reach from the burner to the gas valve.
