Black Panther 1,566 Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 One burner won't stay on. Obviously an issue with the little safety thing that has to warm up before you let go of the knob. Happened a year ago and I gave it a prod and a push. But this time nothing. Can you replace the little buggers? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Island Time 1,211 Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Yep, you can replace the temp sensor. but first, remove it and clean it, then make certain the wire contact is clean as well, and the wire has continuity ... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
idlerboat 116 Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 pinched from another web site.. the inner and outer parts of the thermocouple are made of 2 different metals and when heated this creates a very small dc voltage measured in millivolts this in turn energises the electro magnetic valve (normally called a junkers valve) in the gas tap failure of system is usually is due to 1 tip not positioned in the hottest part of the flame (blue part)2 loose conection at nut on to junkers valve3 burnt out thermocouple4 faulty junkers valve Quote Link to post Share on other sites
S.M.U. 15 Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Force 10's used to have that issue. Easy fix, take the knob off and stuff a bit of carboard inside the knob to act as a spacer. Something with age gets a bit bent out of shape inside and this is the easy fix. May not work for you BP but worth a shot. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
