Having a couple of issues with our back burner, and wondering if anyone knows how to diagnose things better so I can look for the parts I might need.
The symptom is the back burner sometimes will not light, however I quite clearly see the spark from the igniter (although sometimes I can feel it slipping so likely needs to be replaced also). When it does light, when I release the knob, it immediately goes out indicating the thermocoupler is not engaging. Sometimes it will light, and stay on, but then go out a minute later with a "click" that is the thermocoupler disengaging.
It seems it would be either the thermocoupler, or the knob mechanism, that is causing the issue. My question is there a way to test the thermocoupler with a meter to see if that is where the issue lies?
I found this replacement, although it states 50/35cm while the one in our parts manual states 25cm for the back burner.

Also, it is almost impossible to light the burner with a pot on top. If I remove the pot, it normally (but not always) will light. Then I put the pot on, works ok for a bit, then goes out. It is not wind blowing it out, I can hear the click of the safety turning the gas off.
Anyone else go through this already?
