What This Part Does

The upper burner thermocouple serves as a flame-sensing safety device. It detects whether the upper burner is lit and signals the gas valve to remain open when a flame is present. If the flame goes out, the thermocouple causes the gas valve to close automatically, providing an essential layer of safety during appliance operation.

When to Replace This Part

• The upper burner fails to stay lit after ignition
• The burner shuts off shortly after being manually lit
• Visible damage or wear is found on the existing thermocouple
• The thermocouple has been identified as faulty during appliance diagnostics

Important Information

Always verify your appliance's full model number before ordering to confirm compatibility. For safety, it is recommended that thermocouple replacement be performed by a qualified appliance repair technician.
