## Questions & answers

**Q: What kind of warranty or support is there if this thermocouple gives me trouble?**

Coverage details are on our warranty page. If you run into a defect or a performance problem, contact us with your order number and we'll help.

**Q: How do I keep the thermocouple in good shape?**

Check it every so often for corrosion or damage. When the grill is cool, gently wipe soot or debris off the tip with a soft cloth. Don't use abrasive cleaners, they can damage the sensor. Keeping it clean keeps the readings accurate and helps it last.

**Q: What's this thermocouple made of, and how long will it last outside?**

It's typically made from heat resistant metals like stainless steel and copper so it can handle high heat and the outdoors. With some care, and protection from extreme weather when you're not using the grill, it should last several years and keep the grill running safely.

**Q: Will this work on my older Sunstone grill if it isn't the 42 inch IR model?**

It's made specifically for the Sunstone 42" IR burner grill. Some thermocouples have similar connections, but we can't guarantee it'll fit or work right on other models. Check your grill's original parts list, or contact us and we'll confirm the exact part number you need.

**Q: Can I install this thermocouple myself or should I hire someone?**

With basic DIY skills it's usually straightforward. You disconnect the old thermocouple and connect this one, making sure it's secure. Check your grill's manual for the wiring diagram. It's usually a 15 to 30 minute job.
