Symptoms This Part Fixes
Replace this thermopile if your appliance:
- Pilot light won't stay lit
- Main burner won't ignite
- Intermittent or not power to gas valve
- Thermostat not activating burner
- No voltage output from thermopile
Why This Part Fails
Thermopiles degrade over time due to:
- Continuous heat exposure
- Soot or carbon buildup
- Wire fatigue or corrosion
- Physical damage or pinched leads
A weak or failed thermopile won't generate enough voltage to keep the gas valve open.
Installation Notes
- Turn off gas and power before servicing
- Remove old thermopile from pilot assembly
- Install new thermopile and secure PG9 adapter
- Route leads to gas valve and connect to terminals
- Test voltage output (should read 250-750 mV under load)
