Description

Original thermocouple safety sensor for Sauter gas stoves 8051413

Original thermocouple safety sensor for Sauter gas stoves, SKU 8051413. The sensor detects an active flame and allows gas flow – when the flame goes out, it automatically closes the gas tap within seconds and prevents leakage. Suitable for Sauter GZ50 and GE3 series gas stoves. The sensor is available in different color versions – the color does not affect the function.

The flame goes out as soon as you release the knob? This is the most common fault with Sauter gas stoves – and 80% of cases are caused by a faulty safety sensor. Replacing the original sensor restores the stove to full operation. Check that part number 8051413 fits your model before purchasing.

Why is this sensor critical to the gas safety of your stove?

The safety sensor is the main protection mechanism of the gas stove. It generates a tiny electrical voltage (20-30 millivolts) as long as the flame burns its tip – this voltage holds the gas valve open. As soon as the flame goes out – whether from wind, flooding, or a malfunction – the sensor cools down within 1-3 seconds, the voltage stops, and the valve closes automatically. Without a functioning sensor, there is no protection against gas leakage after the flame is extinguished.

⚠️ Important: Before purchasing, verify the model of your stove. The model sticker (E-Nr) of a sauter stove is usually located on the inner door frame or on the back of the appliance.

What are the signs of a faulty sensor?

There are three main signs of a sensor that has reached the end of its life. The most common sign: The flame lights up normally but goes out immediately when you release the ignition button – this is the classic sign of a sensor that is not generating enough voltage. The second sign is a flame that goes out after a few minutes, even when everything seems fine. The third sign: Having to hold the button down for a long time – 10 seconds or more – to keep the flame lit.

From our technicians' experience, 80% of cases where the flame does not hold are the result of a worn safety sensor. Before calling a technician - check that the sensor is not dirty with grease, because in about 20% of cases, gentle cleaning solves the problem without replacement.

🔧 How do you replace the safety sensor on a Sauter stove?

Replacement requires a qualified gas technician – this work should not be performed without gas certification. Typical completion time: 30-45 minutes.

What the technician will do:

1. ✅ Disconnect the stove from electricity and gas
2. ✅ Dismantling the burner head and accessing the sensor
3. ✅ Release the old sensor and disconnect it from the valve
4. ✅ Connecting the new sensor (8051413) to the gas valve
5. ✅ Check function and tightness before reconnecting

💡 Tip from the experts

⚠️ The common mistake we see: replacing a sensor with a non-original part – such a part is not recognized by the manufacturer and may not fit the exact dimensions, leading to repeated failure.

In our experience at official service laboratories – a typical life expectancy of a safety sensor in daily home use is 5-8 years. The common use of grease removers directly on the burner head significantly accelerates wear – use only a damp cloth to clean the area.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Why does the flame on a sauter stove go out when you release the button?

The most common cause is a faulty safety sensor (thermocouple). When the sensor does not generate enough electrical voltage from the heat, the gas valve closes. Less than 20% of cases are related to a clogged nozzle or a problem with the valve itself – so replacing the sensor is usually the first and correct step.

Can the safety sensor be replaced by yourself?

No. Working on a gas system requires a qualified gas technician. Attempting to replace the sensor without qualification may cause a dangerous gas leak. Contact a qualified Sauter technician.

Does the color version of the sensor matter?

No. The 8051413 sensor is available in different color versions – all functionally identical and fit the same models. The color is determined by production batch and has no effect on performance or fit.

What is the difference between an original sensor and a non-original part?

The original sensor 8051413 is precisely designed for Sauter GZ50 and GE3 series stoves. A non-original part may not fit the exact dimensions - leading to poor contact with the flame and repeated failure.
