Customer Questions and Answers for Oven Pilot With Thermocouple by Ge

• Supplies the constant pilot flame needed to light the oven burner
• Thermocouple sends a flame-present signal to allow/hold gas flow to the burner
• Helps resolve issues like the pilot going out, burner not lighting, or oven shutting off mid-cycle
• Restores consistent oven ignition on pilot-equipped models

• Shut off gas supply and power; allow the appliance to cool before servicing
• Note routing and mounting before removal; install the new assembly in the same orientation
• After reconnecting lines, check all joints for leaks with an approved leak-detection solution
• Verify a stable pilot flame and proper burner ignition after installation
