Solenoid Valve For Grill - Removal And Replacement - Thermador Pro Grand PRD304EG Service Manual

Service Manual for Thermador Pro Grand Dual Fuel Ranges:
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 79, 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.

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 81, page 44).
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
