Expert Review
Having trouble with your Buffalo BBQ flame cutting out? Nine times out of ten, this little part is the culprit. The thermocouple is a safety device that can wear out over time, and when it fails, it stops the gas. It's a straightforward swap for anyone who's a bit handy, getting you back to grilling in no time.
Installation & Maintenance
- Always disconnect the gas supply before starting work.
- Use the correct spanners to avoid damaging the fittings.
- Ensure the thermocouple tip is properly seated in the flame.
- After fitting, perform a leak test on all connections.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: My BBQ lights but the flame goes out when I release the knob. Will this fix it?
A: Yes, that's the classic symptom of a failed thermocouple. This part should resolve the issue.
Q: Is this an official Buffalo spare part?
A: Absolutely. This is a genuine AW117 thermocouple direct from the manufacturer.
Q: Do I need a gas engineer to fit this part?
A: While the part is simple to replace for a competent person, we always recommend using a Gas Safe registered engineer for any work on gas appliances.
Did You Know?
- A thermocouple works by generating a tiny electrical voltage from the heat of the pilot flame.
- This small voltage is what holds the main gas valve open during operation.
- Soot or grease build-up on the tip can cause it to fail prematurely.
