Thermocouple Tests 

NOTE 

 

Thermocouples seldom fail.  Most thermocouple problems will be 
broken wires or loose connections or shorted wires due to 
insulation problems. 

 

 

Using the following 

Figure 27

 as a guide, check for frayed or loose wiring and 

correct color-coding of the connections. 

Figure 27 - Thermocouple Tests 

 

 

Thermocouple Tests.dxf 

NOTE 

 

The two thermocouples are interchangeable.  You may trade the 
wires of #2 thermocouple and #1 thermocouple for aid in 
troubleshooting.  Color coding of each pair must be observed.
