Replacement Steps

Before Performing Any Replacement Steps:

  • Turn burner knobs to OFF position, close the propane tank, and disconnect the regulator
  • Unplug the grill from power
  • Open the lid and remove the cooktop
  1. Remove the screw holding flame sensor in place.
  2. Lift the defective sensor up and pull it out. It will be attached to the wire harness.

    Pro Tip: If the customer finds that the wire doesn't move enough to give them room to remove the flame sensor, there is a zip tie holding the wire in place below the griddle they can cut.
  3. Separate the flame sensor and the wiring harness by gripping the flame sensor in one hand and the wire harness in the other and pulling them apart.
    The flame sensor should disconnect from the harness with ease
