Flame sensing electrodes
Anyone know how these work and why my tumble dryer has a long central
electrode in the flame path with an adjacent earth pin that is angled so that theres a small gap between the end of the insulated electrode and the end of the earth pin. I ask as all the replacement ones I see for sale only have a single insulated electrode and no earth one. Im assuming that the electronics for these must be a bit different and a single electrode type wont work in mine. Its a White Knight gas tumble dryer. Only 30 years old now so Id like to get a few more years out of it but Crosslee dont stock spares for this machine any more and I havent seen anything similar on line. The present earth pin has suffered some erosion/corrosion and its not always sensing the flame. Hopefully, heres a picture. https://photos.app.goo.gl/HGzbwdk6Lw1zMNAb9 Tim -- Please don't feed the trolls |
