Thermocouple

[carlyai 1,168]

I'm looking for a replacement thermocouple. 

I'd love to know if I can easily source something like in the picture in Thailand. 

I don't know the part number yet, but if anyone knows of a thermocouple shop that would be great.

The destruction manual said to test it with a mv meter from the tip to the copper gas pipe at the bottom and the reading should be 15mv with the pilot ignite switch depressed. The reading was near 0mv.

It appears you forgot the picture.

5555 beaten by a nano second. 

 

Some decent tradies on here, sure they'll point you in the right direction soon.

If you have a local place that fixes gas stuff (or even your local gas bottle place) pop the beast out and nip there with it.

I've replaced a thermocouple in our gas hob before, but this one is a different looking beast.

Pop him out and let the dog see the rabbit.

Will do. I ordered the one of Lazada as well. Thanks again.

Never heard that one before....must be quaint Old English?

Well once you get it out, how do you get it back in?

Looks like a tape worm. Happy Sunday breakfast.

There's a sticker on it that says, in many languages ' DANGER. Teachers should NOT be stuffing with things they no squat all about!'

Found the part number: EC009. US $74.40. There is an equivalent: 50-3405.

The bit of literature says it is a quick acting thermocouple. 

I would guess that the gas hob thermocouple are quick acting as well. 

I don't feel inclined to pay US $ 74 plus freight etc at the moment.

I think I'll wait for the one from Lazada to arrive and see if my local gas man can change the thermocouple head over.

Like cats, you can't take them apart.

 

The "universal" one has a good chance of fitting (or able to be made to fit).

This may be a daft question ... have you tried cleaning it.
