I have a Zanussi range oven of which a couple of months had issues with the pilot light going out (it's a commercial range oven).
After recommendations for a local service engineer to come and look at I booked them in. After looking at it the engineer replaced the thermocouple as the old one was pretty deteriorated. The replacement was one which he happened to have in the back of his van and didn't charge us for it.
Now, we're back to square one but this time there is VERY little gas coming through to the pilot light.
My question....could the replacement thermocouple be the cause of this? Wrong length, fitting on the gas valve/tap end etc?
Prior to them coming out the gas worked fine, it was just when we turned the heat up from the "ignition" setting it would cut out. The burners work fine so no issue with gas level I would have thought.
