Replacing the Flame Sensor Assembly

The flame sensor should glow a bright red when the pilot is lit and allows the gas valve to open. If it does not sense a flame, it shuts down the gas valve.

To avoid electrical shock or property damage, move the power switch to OFF and disconnect power.

  1. Remove the electrical power supplied to the unit.

  2. Remove the control panel.

  3. Pull the wire off of the terminal of the flame sensor.

  4. Using crosshead screwdriver, remove the screw securing the flame sensor assembly, and remove the assembly from the unit.

  5. Replace with new assembly in reverse order. Make sure the flame sensor has 1/4” gap between it and the pilot hood.

Adjusting the Ignitor and Flame Sensor

For the proper function of the ignitor and flame sensor it is critical that they are at the adjusted properly. The flame rectification, from the flame sensor to the module, should at least be 1.3 microamps.

If the burner assembly is removed from the cooker to install and adjust the parts, once the assembly is re-installed, check the spacing of the components again.
