Solenoid Valve For Grill - Removal And Replacement - Thermador PRL304EG Service Manual

Service Manual for Thermador Pro Grand LP Gas Ranges, Models: PRL304EG, PRL364EDG, PRL364ELG, PRL366EG, PRL484ECG, PRL486EDG, PRL486EDPG, PRL484ELG
7. First make a note of how the wires are connected to the solenoid
valve terminals, and then remove the wires from the terminals.
NOTE: It is always recommended to label and tag all wires, wire
connectors, and harnesses prior to disconnecting them, so as to
correctly identify their connections/locations when re-assembling.
Alternatively, you can photograph the wire connections prior to
disconnecting (for example, with your mobile phone).
8. Use an adjustable wrench to unscrew the large hex nut on the
solenoid and remove the solenoid valve from the XLO valve. Be
careful not to lose the plastic O ring inside the large hex nut of the
solenoid valve, as it may fall out easily (see Figure 80, page 42).
9. Replace solenoid valve if needed.
Gas Leaks
With electrical power off, carefully check for gas leaks at each gas
component that was removed, replaced, or otherwise serviced using a
gas leak detector or bubble test.

4.5.5 Solenoid Valve for Grill – Removal and Replacement
Access for the solenoid valve for the grill is under the maintop.
Be sure to check QuickFinder for relevant information, documentation,
and the correct part number when replacing this component.
For the procedure to remove and replace the solenoid valve for the
XLO burners, see Solenoid Valve for XLO Burner - Removal and
Replacement, page 42.
1. Follow all safety precautions and steps in Preparing the Range for
Servicing, page 21.
2. Follow all steps in Accessing Components under the Maintop,
page 21.
3. If obstructing access to the solenoid, remove the burner support
rail (with jet holder assemblies attached) by following the steps in
Removing the Burner Support Rail, page 24.
4. At the solenoid valve outlet, use a wrench to detach the gas flex
tube – remove and retain the compression nut and the sleeve
from the gas flex tube (see Figure 161, page 83).
5. At the solenoid valve inlet, detach the gas flex tube that connects
the solenoid valve to the elbow connector fitting on the manifold
(the elbow connector fitting is supplied as part of the manifold
assembly).
6. Replace the solenoid valve if needed.
Gas Leaks
With electrical power off, carefully check for gas leaks at each gas
component that was removed, replaced, or otherwise serviced using a
gas leak detector or bubble test.
