Frymaster 810-1873 Fryer Thermopile 36"

Serving as a flame-sensing and millivolt-generating component within commercial fryer gas systems, this thermopile converts pilot flame heat into a small electrical signal that supports ignition and burner safety operation. It is built with a 36-inch lead wire and 1/4" push-on terminals, allowing proper connection with compatible gas control valves such as Honeywell-type systems. This part is commonly used in restaurant fryers, cafeteria cooking stations, and foodservice kitchens where steady ignition and controlled flame monitoring are required during daily cooking cycles. If the thermopile becomes weak or fails, it may lead to pilot outages, delayed ignition, or unstable burner performance during operation. Replacing a worn thermopile can help restore accurate flame sensing, improve ignition response, and support steady fryer operation.

Equipment Compatibility:
Typical applications for Frymaster Thermopile include commercial fryer systems and gas cooking equipment used in foodservice environments. This Thermopile 810-1873 is compatible with commercial equipment from leading brands such as Frymaster, Garland, and White Rodgers, and more, where flame sensing and ignition support are required for proper equipment operation.

Brand Compatibility:
This thermopile replaces multiple part numbers used across compatible equipment applications from brands such as Frymaster, Garland, and White Rodgers. Complete cross-reference details are provided separately for identification and ordering purposes.
