Parts for Kohler 8.5-11RMY: Skid And Plant Mounting Parts

This thermocouple is the flame-sensing safety sensor used on gas ovens and ranges to detect a pilot or burner flame and allow the gas valve to stay open. It replaces a worn or failed sensor to restore proper flame detection. What it does:

• Senses pilot/burner flame and signals the gas valve to remain open when heated
• Prevents gas flow if the flame goes out, improving appliance safety
• Commonly replaces thermocouples that are bent, corroded, or no longer reach operating temperature
• Can resolve symptoms like burners or oven not staying lit, or intermittent ignition

• Disconnect power and shut off the gas supply before starting work
• Handle the sensor tip and tube gently; avoid kinking or over-bending the probe
• Verify proper seating and secure connection to the gas valve and pilot assembly
