On range models with a thermocouple, the pilot burner
flame should surround and cover an area of at least
3/8" to 1/2" of the thermocouple at the hot tip end.
BURNER AIR SHUTTER
ADJUSTMENT
The efficiency of the burner depends on a delicate
balance between the air supply and volume of gas.
Whenever this balance is disturbed, poor operating
characteristics and excessive gas consumption may
occur.
An air shutter on the front of the burner controls
the gas mixer balance.
•Proper flame should be blue in color, well-defined
and seated on the burner port.
BURNER NOZZLE CHECK
NOTE: The burner nozzle is mounted between the
oven gas supply tubing/mounting bracket and the uburner assembly. If burner operation seems poor and
other systems have been checked, access the burner
for the range section being serviced and remove the
burner nozzle.

2.Verify gas orifice hood is correct for the altitude.

Pilot Checks
If experiencing pilot outages, perform the following:
Visually check pilot flame for the proper contact on
thermocouple and adjust STANDARD OVEN PILOT
ASSEMBLY AND THERMOCOUPLE . If adjustment
does not result in a pilot flame of proper height, then
gas might not be flowing properly to the pilot.
Check for:
A plugged pilot orifice.
•
•Kinked or plugged pilot gas tubing.
•Low gas supply pressure.
Thermocouple Checks
NOTE: Tubing connection from the thermocouple tip
to gas safety valve is an electrical connection and
must be clean and dry. Do not use any sealing
compound on the threads of thermocouple nut.
Fig. 48
NOTE: Current production thermostat assembly (Fig.
48) shown not assembled to oven for clarity.
Verify flats on knob and stem align.
THERMOCOUPLE TEST
Operation
The thermocouple supplies a DC millivolt signal (MV)
to gas safety valve when heated by pilot flame. The
gas safety valve will shut off gas flow to pilot and main
burner in case of a pilot outage. When energized by
thermocouple voltage, the gas safety valve is held
open to permit gas flow to pilot and provide gas for
burner when thermostat calls for heat. Height of pilot
flame is controlled by an adjustable needle valve
located under a small cover screw on the gas safety
valve.
Do not overtighten the thermocouple nut or the
insulator could be crushed, shorting the
thermocouple.
a wrench only.
If pilot flame is correct and there are no excessive air
drafts in the room, then problem is either the
thermocouple output voltage or the gas safety valve.
Visually check the thermocouple tip (hot end) and tube
lead for:
•Loose thermocouple connection (electrical) at
the safety valve.
•Corrosion or debris on the threaded connector or
thermocouple tip causing a poor electrical
connection.
•Kinks or pinches that might cause a short
between the tube and the wire inside.
If thermocouple is loose, tighten mounting nut.
Do not overtighten the thermocouple nut or the
insulator could be crushed, shorting the

If thermocouple connection shows signs of corrosion
