Re: leisure rangemaster 55

Almost certainly a thermocouple fault not allowing the thermostat to operate correctly. You MUST get a CORGI qualified engineer to deal with this – check Directories or Repairs at for a suitable UKW engineer in your area. If no joy, please post your post code in the thread and we’ll see what we can find for you.

Re: leisure rangemaster 55

Hi,
Thermocouple is a device which is connected to the thermostat and the burner. When heated (usually a few seconds) it will hold the thermostat in an “open” or “operating” position. If it fails, the thermostat will not operate (ie no flame) or partial flame if failing. It is an essential safety device.

Re: leisure rangemaster 55

Ps i’m assuming the thermocouple would come as part of the thermostat ❓ i.e the part number above are thous of the thermostat? If not can someone post up a picture so I know what I need to pick up.

Thanks

Re: leisure rangemaster 55

The thermocouple and thermostat are two unrelated parts, you must have a Corgi engineer fit the parts so there’s little point in trying to source them yourself to be honest.

Re: leisure rangemaster 55

Thanks! I sort of figured after I posted that they where different.

Check with the suplier mentioned above they have a number of them so I just need a fitter to replace it. Blackpools a bit far for me I live in Manchester.

Thanks for the advice.

Re: leisure rangemaster 55

Haworth Appliances cover your area for servicing was the reason for the post bograt 😀

They will also be able to bring the correct part with them if you give them the symptoms and model details over the phone I would imagine.

Re: leisure rangemaster 55

Also check that the low flame is going completely across the burner thus coming into contact with thermocouple, have had a few blocked burner ports.
If this is happening its Corgi time !!
