Champion 109902 Dishwasher Solenoid Valve Repair Kit 1/2"

This safety sensor is used in gas-powered commercial dishwashing and warewashing equipment to help control and maintain the pilot flame. It works by generating a small electrical signal when the pilot flame heats the sensor tip. This signal travels through the 48-inch lead wire to the gas safety valve, keeping the gas supply open so the machine can continue heating water during operation. Over time, heat, carbon buildup, and oxidation can weaken the sensor, causing it to produce less power. When this happens, the pilot flame may go out after the control knob is released, stopping the heating system from working properly. Replacing a worn sensor helps restore normal ignition and steady operation. This part is commonly used in commercial dishwashers, warewashers, booster heaters, and other sanitation equipment that relies on safe gas heating control.
