Pull the spade wire connection (if any) of the thermocouple, located under a plastic cap on the back side of the gas valve, up and off of its connection. 6
Remove the thermocouple from the thermostatic valve connected to the stove burner by unscrewing the hex nut of the thermocouple with a small crescent wrench. If you have a thermocouple connected directly to the burner, loosen the hex nut that holds the thermocouple in place. Lift the old thermocouple off of the thermostatic gas valve. 7
Slide the new thermocouple onto the thermostatic gas valve. Screw the hex nut on until it is finger tight. Turn the hex nut 1/4 turn with the crescent wrench to secure the thermocouple. Do not over-tighten the hex nut or you will damage the washer of the thermocouple. Snap the spade wire connector back in place. 8
Re-install the tray, all screws and the grill frame.
