Product Description
The Thermal Valve Gas Oven HSI (Hot Surface Ignition) to Suit Chef & Westinghouse - Part# 0136001206 is a replacement component used in gas ovens, particularly for models from Chef and Westinghouse. This thermal valve plays a key role in regulating the temperature within the oven and ensuring safe operation.
Key Features of the Thermal Valve Gas Oven HSI (Part# 0136001206):
-
Hot Surface Ignition (HSI) System:
- The HSI system is a modern ignition method used in gas ovens. Instead of using a spark, it utilizes a hot surface igniter to light the gas. This system is known for being more reliable and efficient than traditional spark ignition systems.
- The thermal valve helps regulate the flow of gas to the oven's burner and is essential for ensuring proper ignition through the HSI system.
-
Temperature Regulation:
- The thermal valve controls the flow of gas based on the temperature in the oven. It ensures that the oven does not overheat by cutting off or modulating the gas supply once the desired temperature is reached.
-
Compatibility:
- This part is specifically designed to be compatible with Chef and Westinghouse brand gas ovens. It's important to use the correct part number (0136001206) to ensure proper fit and function.
-
Safety:
- The thermal valve is a safety component that prevents excessive gas flow or overheating, which could potentially lead to dangerous situations like gas leaks or fire hazards.
- It helps ensure that the oven operates safely by stopping the gas flow once the oven reaches the correct temperature.
-
Durability:
- Made from high-quality materials, the thermal valve is designed to withstand the heat and pressure involved in gas oven operations.
Applications:
- Gas Ovens: This thermal valve is used in gas ovens, particularly in the Chef and Westinghouse brands. It is a vital part of maintaining safe and efficient gas usage in these appliances.
- HSI Systems: Ensures proper operation and safety of ovens using Hot Surface Ignition technology.
Symptoms Indicating the Need for a Replacement:
If your gas oven is not igniting properly, experiencing erratic heating, or the gas is not being regulated correctly, the thermal valve may be faulty and require replacement. It’s important to replace the thermal valve to restore proper function to the oven.
