Have been living without the central burner on my five ring hob for ages, and kept putting off repairing it. Eventually decided to deal with it, and turned to RUclips for help. Once I find the model number and source the Whirlpool part, I'll tackle it. Thanks for the clear instructions!
Same problem here, Electrician quoted something astronomical. Will order the part and fix myself. Thanks for the guidance and confidence. Good clear video too btw.
You really are fantastic. I've just stripped my 5-burner hob down, for just this problem. Lots of grease. Cleaned all the electrical contact faces, and all works fine. Thanks very much.
Thanks for this easy to follow video. Removed the cover, used a toothbrush to clean up some of the grease that had built up around the thermocouple and now its working.
Hello Tristram O, your video is very good, explains the problem you have, I also have this problem with my kitchen and I did not know how to recognize the problem, it helped me a lot to understand and what to do in this situation now I feel more confident, now I can already call the kitchen technician and order the work without fear that the technician will damage my kitchen or recommend me to buy another one because the kitchen does not work completely Thanks for your happy day tutorial
Thank you so so much. Just knowing how these things are put together (I have a Nard that basically looks identical under the coveri) allowed me to get inside and clean it up and hey presto it worked without even having to buy a new thermocouple.
Thank you for this video, it gave me some ideas - one of my burners would only stay on if a pan was covering the problem hob. Read elsewhere that the thermocouple head must be in the flame for the burner to stay on (safety feature). Found that the burner ring and cover had a tiny bit of play and would move toward the thermocouple head by maybe 1mm, after doing this the hob stays on fine. Thanks again for the video - I know what to do if I need to change the thermocouple now.
Very good video on thermocouple replacement. Wondering if you have any video on why the burner is not igniting. only one burner is not igniting but others are fine
If the thermocouple has become loose and therefore might sit too far away from the flame even by a couple of mm's....the flame might continually be cutting out. Check whatevers holding it in place and make sure it holds the thermocouple close to the flame Mine works now and i didnt need a new one And p.s...you need to clean the protruding metal thermocouples tip with light sandpaper or a scotchbrite pad to remove carbon etc food deposits which will also stop it working properly
Very informative. Have the same issue, same burner, fairly new hisense stove. Im diy too, but my first experience with gas stove. Will cintact the supplier tomorrow and how it goes. Its 3 months new. Thanks.
A year and a bit old and this video is still extremely useful. All the steps were exactly the same for my delonghi 700mm gas hobs. Perfectly illustrated, perfectly commentated. Thanks heaps
I found that cleaning the thermocouple with fine sandpaper also worked ! Your video showed me what the thermocouple looks like ,I thought the spike was something to do with the spark ignition .
Can a cooker gas hob work without a thermocouple. my AEG range cooker large burner thermocouple has gone but the cooker and parts have been discontinued. it is almost new but 12 yrs old. is there anyway i could get this burner to work. i have contacted the manufacturer and they are not interested just said no parts available oaths model.
What's wrong cause this thermocouple broken? I also have the same problem and unfortunately it's hard to find thermacouple for my stove, because it has different type from what's on the market.
I need to replace the thermocouple in an upright SMEG unit but can't remove the top, even after removing all the screws from the top and back. I can remove the back edge. Any help/tips appreciated! Thanks

Thanks for a clear video, Our grill is playing up, have ordered a replacement thermocouple and now am confident to do the job safely thanks
Ppl , before removing the thermacouple try cleaning it with small grit sandpapper. Sometimes the buildbuid/gunk will keep it from working correctly.
Great video, thanks for filming this. I have the same problem with a very similar looking Neff hob and now feel confident I can fix it. Thanks
I managed to replace the thermocouple on my gas hob (of a different brand) with the help of your very clear instruction video. Thanks!
appreciate your time to make this video, it helped me six years after your posting; cheers ! very well explained.
Same problem here, Electrician quoted something astronomical. Will order the part and fix myself. Thanks for the guidance and confidence. Good clear video too btw.
Calm delivery of important information ! Thank you .
Four years old but still very relevant and helpful.
Thanks a lot.
Kudos to the effort and thoughts.
Great video. I've had this problem with my hob since new. I'm now sorting out a new thermocouple to fit myself. Thank you again! 👍
You really are fantastic.
I've just stripped my 5-burner hob down, for just this problem.
Lots of grease.
Cleaned all the electrical contact faces, and all works fine.
Thanks very much.
What did you use? Vinegar and baking soda?
Thanks for this easy to follow video. Removed the cover, used a toothbrush to clean up some of the grease that had built up around the thermocouple and now its working.
So u did not have to replace it , is it ??
Same here 2 years later! 👌

Superb tutorial , this has given me the confidence to tackle a similar problem on my Rangemaster cooker gas burners, thanks you
Excellent tutorial, clear and well explained and I thank you - just what I needed to know.

Thank you! Just fixes my hob! In my case it only took to clean those elements with some degreaser - good as new! Fab! 👌

Loving it!!
Thank you. Very valuable.
what do you call the silver colour tube things that are on the cooker that carry gas? I just broke one while cleaning :(
Had exactly the same problem on a gas refrigerator. Easy (and cheap) fix with a new thermocouple. Access was a bit more awkard though.
What's wrong cause this thermocouple broken? I also have the same problem and unfortunately it's hard to find thermacouple for my stove, because it has different type from what's on the market.
Thanks for that. Saved me hundreds of dollars🤗🤗
👍And saved the landfill
Thanks - still useful today
Amazing, thank you!
Thanks thats helpful got to fix mine
Hey.
Where can I buy the thermocouple for a smeg cooker?
If possible send a link
Thanks
Thanks for this
Good job!
How can i add thermo couple to a five burner cooker thay does n't have thermo couple from factory?
Is it echomomical?
Great video, just what I needed. Thanks!
Hi good video
In my Belling gas oven at low setting it cant stay on can you help pls
very helpful thank you
Thanks for sharing....
Good man.
I need to replace the thermocouple in an upright SMEG unit but can't remove the top, even after removing all the screws from the top and back. I can remove the back edge. Any help/tips appreciated! Thanks
Sorry I have no experience with an upright. I hope can can find a RUclips video on it. Good luck.
Nice video. One question. The small screw on the thermocouple, is it required to have? My one is not there.
Hi and thanks. My guess is, if there isn’t one on the original thermostat you are replacing then your model probably doesn’t need it.
Thanks
That video would have been 8 minutes shorter without all the erms 😅😂
Hey great video can you send me the link where I can get a thermo couple for my smeg thanks
www.espares.co.uk/
Where do you get the spare parts? My caps are also rusty and need replacing.
I used espares but I think there are other companies if you Google it
Thank
mine the middle burner is not working which i need, can i exchange from the burner that i don't use
Certainly worth a try
Try getting a head mount for your camera
Man what the meaning of sharing this tutorial if you never show us how to disconnect the old and connect the new
too much taking
