Expert Review
"If your Thor oven's pilot light just won't stay on, or it keeps cutting out mid-service, nine times out of ten it's a knackered thermocouple. This AF798 is the exact part you'll need for those GL172, GL173, and GL174 models. It's a quick and simple fix for any Gas Safe engineer, getting you back to cooking in no time."
Installation & Maintenance
- Always isolate the gas supply before starting work.
- Installation must be performed by a qualified engineer.
- Ensure the thermocouple tip is correctly positioned in the pilot flame.
- Keep the pilot assembly clean to prolong part life.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why won't my oven pilot light stay lit?
A: A faulty or failing thermocouple is the most common reason for this issue. It's a safety sensor that needs replacing.
Q: Is this a universal part?
A: No, this is a genuine Thor spare part specifically for models GL172-P, GL172-N, GL173-P, GL173-N, GL174-P, and GL174-N.
Q: Can I fit this thermocouple myself?
A: For your safety and to comply with regulations, all gas-related components must be installed by a Gas Safe registered engineer.
Did You Know?
- A thermocouple generates a tiny electrical current from the pilot flame's heat to hold the gas valve open.
- If the flame goes out, the current stops, and the thermocouple signals the valve to close, preventing gas leaks.
- Carbon or grease build-up on the tip can insulate it from the flame, causing it to fail.
