Details

The Avantco 177201700237 Thermopile is an OEM replacement component for Avantco commercial warming equipment designed to generate a small electrical signal from burner flame heat. This thermopile produces the electrical current necessary to operate safety valves and control circuits in gas heating systems, enabling automatic flame sensing and safe burner operation.

Thermopiles fail when the thermoelectric sensing junctions become corroded from moisture exposure, solder joints crack from thermal cycling stress, or the device loses its ability to generate electrical current. A non-functional thermopile prevents flame detection, causing safety systems to shut down gas flow and making the warming equipment unable to operate. This failure mode is actually a safety feature that prevents operation when flame sensing fails.

Professional gas appliance technicians must perform replacement to ensure proper flame sensing and equipment safety. The technician will isolate gas and electrical power, carefully access the thermopile mounting location near the burner, remove the old thermopile with appropriate techniques, disconnect its electrical connection, position the new Avantco 177201700237 in the proper location within the flame path, secure it firmly, and reconnect electrical wires. The technician will light the burner and verify the thermopile generates sufficient electrical signal to enable safe burner operation. Annual safety inspections and testing are required to ensure continued proper thermopile function.
