Replacing the Flame Sensor (Gas Units)

The flame sensor recognizes the pilot flame and allows gas to continue to the pilot. The flame sensor must send a minimum of one micro amps to the ignition module. The pilot flame should be split in two by the flame sensor, causing the flame sensor to be a bright red color.

1. Remove electrical power supplied to the unit.

2. To access flame sensor, open the filter doors in the front of the unit. Follow the small gauge yellow wire running to the sensor behind the pilot assembly.

3. Disconnect the flame sense wire from the flame sensor.

4. Use a pair of needle nosed pliers to pull the flame sensor out of the pilot assembly bracket.

5. Insert the new flame sensor and reconnect flame sensor wire.

6. Turn power on and inspect fryer.
