Smeg 948650104 Thermocouple 500mm

Product Description

The SMEG 948650104 is a thermocouple replacement part designed for use in Smeg gas appliances. A thermocouple is a safety device that senses the presence of a pilot flame and allows the gas valve to remain open when a flame is detected. If the flame extinguishes, the thermocouple signals the valve to shut off the gas supply, preventing uncontrolled gas flow. This unit has a lead length of approximately 500 millimeters, making it suitable for installations where the pilot assembly and gas valve are positioned at a standard distance within the appliance.

This thermocouple is intended as an OEM replacement part for Smeg gas cooking appliances. It is typically installed by appliance service technicians during routine maintenance or safety-related service calls involving pilot flame failure, nuisance shutdowns, or gas valve replacement. The 500-millimeter lead length accommodates the standard routing paths found in many Smeg range and cooktop configurations.

Key Features

• OEM Smeg replacement thermocouple for gas appliances
• 500-millimeter lead length for standard appliance fitment
• Safety-shutoff function cuts gas supply when pilot flame is lost
• Direct replacement design for simplified service

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement thermocouple for Smeg gas cooking appliances requiring a 500-millimeter thermocouple lead.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified appliance service technician familiar with gas appliance safety procedures. Shut off the gas supply to the appliance before beginning any service work. Ensure the thermocouple tip is properly seated in the pilot bracket and the connection at the gas valve is finger-tight plus a quarter turn — do not overtighten, as this can damage the valve seat. Verify pilot flame engulfs the thermocouple tip fully after installation before returning the appliance to service.
