Commonly used in commercial deep fryers, type J and type K models offer accuracy and durability under high heat. By measuring voltage at the metal junction, these sensors detect temperature changes, ensuring precise oil control for safe, efficient, and consistent frying performance.

Replacement Parts of Thermocouple for Commercial Fryers
A thermocouple in commercial fryers is a key safety device that helps regulate and monitor the burner flame. It works by detecting the heat from the pilot flame and sending a small electrical signal to keep the gas valve open.When the flame extinguishes, the thermocouple halts the signal, shutting off gas flow for safety.
A failing thermocouple often shows clear signs in fryer performance. The pilot flame may go out repeatedly, making the fryer hard to keep lit. Sudden burner shutdowns can occur, disrupting cooking. Inconsistent heating further impacts frying efficiency and safety. When the fryer struggles to hold temperature or needs frequent re-lighting, the thermocouple is likely wearing out.
At PartsFe CA, you’ll find reliable thermocouple replacements for commercial fryers from trusted brands like Frymaster, Pitco, Accutemp, and Cleveland. We offer a wide range of genuine fryer parts, including extension 48", heavy duty 24" L 20-30 mV, oven coaxial 11/32"-32, 60", pilot assembly with ignitor, 11/32"-32 threads.
FAQs
Why does my fryer pilot flame keep going out frequently?
The thermocouple may be failing, preventing consistent heat sensing, causing the pilot flame to extinguish unexpectedly.
What should I check first if the fryer shuts down suddenly?
Inspect pilot flame stability, then test the thermocouple for proper flame detection and consistent electrical signal flow.
How can I test if my deep fryer thermocouple is faulty?
Manually hold the pilot button—if the flame won’t stay lit after release, the thermocouple is likely bad.
What are signs that my fryer thermocouple is failing?
Signs include pilot light extinguishing often, flickering burner flames, and delayed or no ignition response.
Why is my fryer’s pilot light flashing or weak?
It may indicate that the thermocouple cannot sense the flame well and is shutting the gas valve.
How do I know when it’s time for fryer thermocouple replacement?
If the fryer keeps shutting off, struggles to hold temperature, or needs frequent re-lighting, replacement is necessary.
