This post is WHY it is important to give year/Brand and model of appliance and RV when asking for help. There are 2 flame sensor types and both Norcold and Dometic have used both over the years.
1. Is the Thermocoupler pictured in the one post
2. Is what I call the flame sensor and is also the spark electrode. There is NO thermocoupler at all in the standard sense.
One poster talked about and had a pic of what he thought was a refer thermocoupler. Well yes, 25 to 30 years ago. The Metal tube type thermocoupler used on Dometic has 2 wires with a spade terminal on each wire and connects to the main control board. BUT, Dometic uses both types and it depends on the model number. Doug
