The Blodgett 100653 oven thermocouple ensures reliable temperature sensing for consistent and safe oven operation. This component is designed to detect heat levels and generate a small electrical signal (20–30 mV) that allows the gas valve to remain open only when a proper flame is present. Featuring a snap-fit design and a 48-inch length, it supports easy installation and flexible positioning within compatible ovens. Designed for 1980 series units, it helps maintain accurate performance. Its dependable operation enhances safety, reduces downtime, and supports efficient cooking processes in commercial kitchen environments.
