Also on the burner. I have the main gas line coming in, then the little slot for the electronic ignition, and then on the other side is what looks like a brown probe. It runs from the burner back to the gas valve next to the switches. It doesn’t look like a gas line but does connect to where all the lines are.
Anyone have any idea what I’m talking about? Not the best with describing it.
What you are describing is the thermo-coupler. Heat from the flame generates a small amount of electricity. If the gas valve does not see that electricity it closes, shutting off the gas. When lighting, you need to hold a button? That is to by-pass the safety device while the thermo-coupler heats up. If your flame stays lit, that is not a issue.
