At pilot light, where pilot light flame goes directly onto thermo coupler.


Is a thermal coupler on the front of the hot water tank?

It is the thin copper line coming out of the bottom of the control valve and running to the pilot light. Should follow the tube coming out of the bottom of the control valve that supplies gas to the pilot light.


Does ge gas dryer have a safety to turn off gass if power goes out?

Yes ….Your dryer, like many hot water heaters and gas ranges has a device called a "thermal coupler" This device relies on the heat from a pilot light to keep it on while there is power to the thermal relay. Now, If the thermal coupler fails or if the pilot light goes out, The relay shuts the gas off at the valve to prevent gas from filling the house. The difference between the range, heater and dryer is that the dryer has the safety built in to disable the gas for total power failure. The range and heater can still run with out electricity.


What is a water heater thermal coupler?

Thermocouple? It is what keeps the pilot light lit. It is a small tube that runs from the pilot light to the control valve. The tube is made from two types of metal that when heated produce a small electrical current that keeps the gas valve open. Thermocouple goes bad the pilot light goes out and no gas can get into the house.


Replaced thermal coupal pilot light burns then burner comes on burns for 15 seconds both go out?

This issue could be caused by a faulty thermal coupler not generating enough heat to keep the pilot light burning. It may also be due to a blockage in the pilot assembly or a dirty burner causing improper gas flow. It is recommended to have a professional inspect and repair the system to ensure safe and proper functioning.

Which forms of energy are produced by a light bulb?

A light bulb produces light energy and thermal energy while it is turned on. The light energy is visible light that illuminates the surroundings, while the thermal energy is the heat generated as a byproduct of the light production.
