Expert Review
If your Thor oven or griddle's pilot light is flickering out or just won't stay lit, this front pilot assembly is almost always the culprit. It's a common wear-and-tear item in a busy kitchen. Swapping it out is a straightforward job for a qualified engineer, getting your unit back to lighting reliably and safely in no time.
Installation & Maintenance
- Always disconnect the gas supply before installation.
- Installation by a Gas Safe engineer is required.
- Keep the pilot area free from grease and debris.
- Regularly check for a steady, blue pilot flame.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does this part include the injector?
A: No, this is the pilot assembly only, as stated in the title. The injector must be used from your old part or purchased separately if required.
Q: How do I know if I need a new pilot assembly?
A: Common signs include the pilot flame not staying lit, being very weak, or failing to ignite the main burner.
Q: Is this compatible with both Natural Gas and LPG models?
A: Yes, it fits both the -N (Natural Gas) and -P (LPG/Propane) versions of the listed models, but uses a different injector for each gas type.
Did You Know?
- A clean pilot assembly ensures a more efficient and complete burn, reducing gas consumption.
- Pilot flame issues are often caused by blockages from food debris or carbon build-up.
- This assembly works with the thermocouple to ensure gas flows only when a flame is present.
