Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do I know if my thermocouple has failed?
A: A common sign is the burner flame going out as soon as you release the control knob after lighting it.
Q: Is this part for the front or back burners?
A: This specific thermocouple (AJ944) is designed for the back row open burners on the compatible Thor hobs.
Q: Do I need a Gas Safe registered engineer to fit this part?
A: Yes, for safety and compliance, all work on commercial gas appliances must be carried out by a qualified Gas Safe registered engineer.
Did You Know?
- A thermocouple is a safety device that senses heat to keep the gas valve open; if the flame goes out, it cools and shuts the valve.
- Soot and debris buildup from spills can cause premature thermocouple failure by insulating it from the flame.
- Using a genuine Thor part ensures the correct length and fitting for optimal performance and safety.
