- Always perform a gas leak test after installation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: My griddle pilot light won't stay lit. Is this the right part?
A: A faulty thermocouple is the most common reason for this issue. This part is designed to solve that problem for the compatible models listed.
Q: Is this part for natural gas or LPG models?
A: This thermocouple is suitable for both natural gas (-N) and LPG (-P) versions of the specified Thor griddles.
Q: Can I fit this part myself?
A: For safety and legal reasons, any work on a commercial gas appliance must be carried out by a qualified Gas Safe registered engineer.
Did You Know?
- A thermocouple generates a tiny electrical current from the pilot flame's heat, which holds the gas valve open.
- Soot or grease build-up on the thermocouple tip can insulate it, causing ignition failure.
- Keeping a spare thermocouple on hand can dramatically reduce equipment downtime and lost revenue.
