Expert Review
If your Buffalo burner lights up but the flame dies the moment you release the control knob, a worn-out thermocouple is the most likely culprit. It’s a common failure point from constant heat cycles. Thankfully, this is a straightforward, quick fix for any qualified engineer, getting your barbecue back up and running with minimal downtime.
Installation & Maintenance
- Ensure the gas supply is completely isolated before work.
- All gas parts must be fitted by a competent engineer.
- Do not over-tighten connections as this can cause damage.
- Periodically check the probe tip for soot or debris.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do I know if my thermocouple needs replacing?
A: The most common symptom is the pilot light or main burner extinguishing as soon as you let go of the gas control knob.
Q: Is this part compatible with other brands?
A: No, this is a genuine part designed specifically for Buffalo models P111, L492, L493, and L491 to ensure correct and safe operation.
Q: Can I install this myself?
A: For safety and legal compliance, any work on gas appliances, including thermocouple replacement, must be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer.
Did You Know?
- A thermocouple generates a tiny electrical current from the flame's heat to hold the gas valve open.
- Keeping the thermocouple tip clean from carbon build-up can help prolong its working life.
- If the flame goes out, the thermocouple cools, the current stops, and the gas valve closes safely.
