Model# SGCS365RB
SN 81810049NB
Four of the five burners work.
Of the two XLO burners, one sparks but the gas valve doesn't open. The other one I can hear the solenoid open and then it sparks and ignites. Since the spark looks good on the one that doesn't ignite and the gas valve opens before the spark even starts on the one that does ignite, I assume whatever controls the solenoid is the culprit.
I read here similar models needed a new potentiometer. Just wanted to know if this and or the control unit was the issue. Does the AP3872616 kit work on this model/serial combination?
Thanks

Does anyone know if just the potentiometer is needed or is it the control unit also? Is there a test for either?
Thanks

Hello, I'm having the exact same issue. I have the following: Thermador SGCS365RB SN 20030115NB After reading this thread and a few others, I was convinced it was the potentiometer as well. I have swapped the working with with the non-working one to test the theory and sure enough, the opposite XLO burner works and the previously working one fails. So I'm convinced I've ordered the right part for the repair. However, now that I have the part, it doesn't seem to fit. It must fit flush around the metal shaft that the burner knob sits on top of (it's a half-circle shape). Otherwise when you turn the burner knob, the potentiometer won't catch, and therefore won' work (it will always be in the 'off' position). Please see the pics I've posted here: https://picasaweb.google...y=Gv1sRgCLWpwMaA2vPO-AE#The reddish one is the older, broken one. You can see that the opening is much smaller on that one. I've taken some pics of the new one in place and you can see the large gap where turning the knob wouldn't catch. This is the new part that I purchased: Part Details - BOSCH Potentiometer, part number: AP2825524Based on this page: Gas and electric component parts replacement parts for THERMADOR SGCS365RB | AppliancePartsPros.comIt's item #6 on that page. I've verified that my Serial Number is within the right range for that part and doesn't need the potentiometer 'kit'. I'd appreciate any help from the gurus out there. Please let me know what I've done wrong or if I need a different part. Thanks in advance for any help. PS, thanks to the forum for helping me get this far.
