Whirlpool WPW10155906 Range Thermocouple
Product Description
The Whirlpool WPW10155906 is a crucial security precaution for your Whirlpool range. A thermocouple is a small device that controls gas flow to burners. It works as One end of the thermocouple passes through the flame. As the burner heats up, the thermocouple generates an insignificant voltage. This voltage signal is conveyed to the gas control valve, which understands it as a signal to maintain the gas flow. If the flame goes out for any reason, the thermocouple cools swiftly, causing the voltage signal to drop. The gas control valve then recognizes the drop and shuts off the gas supply, preventing a potentially dangerous gas leak.
