Expert Review

Expert Review
If your fryer's pilot light just won't stay on, or the main burner keeps cutting out mid-service, a dodgy thermocouple is the usual suspect. This part is the flame's safety sensor. Thankfully, for a qualified gas engineer, swapping it out is a quick job that'll get your Buffalo fryer back in action in no time.
Installation & Maintenance
- Always use a qualified Gas Safe engineer for installation.
- Ensure the gas supply is isolated before starting work.
- Keep the pilot light assembly free from grease and debris.
- Test for correct operation after fitting the new part.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why won't my fryer's pilot light stay lit?
A: A faulty thermocouple is the most common cause. This part senses the flame and can fail over time, causing the gas valve to shut off as a safety measure.
Q: Can I install this part myself?
A: No. For safety and legal compliance, any work on gas appliances, including thermocouple replacement, must be carried out by a qualified Gas Safe registered engineer.
Q: How do I confirm this fits my fryer?
A: This AS957 thermocouple is the official spare for the Buffalo HU199 gas fryer. Always check your appliance's data plate to confirm the model number before ordering.
Did You Know?
- A thermocouple generates a tiny electrical current from the heat of the pilot flame.
- If this current stops, it signals the gas valve to shut, preventing dangerous gas leaks.
- Regularly cleaning the pilot area can help to prolong the life of your thermocouple.
