Customer reviews
About our reviews: they come from verified direct customers and from our authorized dealer network, including Home Depot, Lowe's, Amazon and other Sunstone dealers.
My old thermocouple started acting up so I grabbed this one. Works perfectly now, but install was more fiddly than I expected. Once it's in, the grill fires right up every time.
Glad Sunstone sells these replacement parts. Perfect fit on my 42" IR burner grill. It's back to its old self, heating evenly and reliably.
My infrared burner wasn't staying lit and it turned out to be the thermocouple. This was super easy to swap. My 42" grill is running great again, just in time for summer cookouts.
You don't realize how important these little parts are until one goes out. This one is well made and got my grill working safely and reliably again without any fuss.
My original thermocouple failed and I needed a replacement quick. This one did it. Solid part that does what it's supposed to, and the price felt fair to get the grill going again.
