Good replacement, a little tricky

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.

Dana★★★★★September 12, 2011
Perfect fit for my Sunstone grill

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.

Spencer D.★★★★★April 12, 2015
Easy fix

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.

Miguel★★★★★September 24, 2021
Works as expected

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.

Tracy H.★★★★☆September 25, 2024
Solid replacement, fair price

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.

Questions & answers

5 questions answered

Q
Can I install this thermocouple myself or should I hire someone?Asked by Sunstone Support Team
A
With basic DIY skills it's usually straightforward. You disconnect the old thermocouple and connect this one, making sure it's secure. Check your grill's manual for the wiring diagram. It's usually a 15 to 30 minute job.

Q
Will this work on my older Sunstone grill if it isn't the 42 inch IR model?Asked by Sunstone Support Team
A
It's made specifically for the Sunstone 42" IR burner grill. Some thermocouples have similar connections, but we can't guarantee it'll fit or work right on other models. Check your grill's original parts list, or contact us and we'll confirm the exact part number you need.

Q
How do I keep the thermocouple in good shape?Asked by Sunstone Support Team
A
Check it every so often for corrosion or damage. When the grill is cool, gently wipe soot or debris off the tip with a soft cloth. Don't use abrasive cleaners, they can damage the sensor. Keeping it clean keeps the readings accurate and helps it last.

Q
What's this thermocouple made of, and how long will it last outside?Asked by Sunstone Support Team
A
It's typically made from heat resistant metals like stainless steel and copper so it can handle high heat and the outdoors. With some care, and protection from extreme weather when you're not using the grill, it should last several years and keep the grill running safely.
