Product Description

The Thermocouple for Braemar WF2000 is an essential safety component for the Braemar WF2000 wall furnace, which is a gas heating appliance. The thermocouple is responsible for ensuring the safety and proper functioning of the appliance by detecting the flame and cutting off the gas supply if the flame goes out.

Key Features of the Thermocouple for Braemar WF2000:

Flame Detection:
- The thermocouple is a small sensor that detects the presence of the flame in the furnace. It generates a small electrical signal when heated by the flame, allowing the gas valve to remain open and supply gas. If the flame goes out, the thermocouple stops generating this signal, causing the gas valve to close and cut off the gas supply, thus preventing any unburned gas from leaking into the furnace.
Safety:
- The thermocouple is a critical safety feature. It ensures that the gas is only flowing to the burner when the flame is present. If the flame goes out, the thermocouple cuts off the gas supply, preventing the accumulation of gas, which could result in a hazardous situation.
Compatibility:
- This thermocouple is specifically designed for use with the Braemar WF2000 wall furnace. It's important to ensure that you're using the correct part number to guarantee proper fit and function.
Durability:
- The thermocouple is typically made of high-quality materials like copper or a copper alloy, designed to withstand high temperatures and the rigorous conditions inside a gas furnace.

Symptoms That Indicate the Need for Replacement:

Failure to Ignite: If your Braemar WF2000 furnace is not igniting or the flame goes out shortly after lighting, it could be due to a faulty thermocouple that is not detecting the flame properly.
Gas Supply Cutoff: If the furnace shuts off unexpectedly, the thermocouple may not be functioning properly, causing it to shut off the gas supply even when the flame is still on.
Intermittent Heating: If the furnace turns on and off inconsistently or fails to stay on, this could be another sign that the thermocouple needs to be replaced.
