Anyone know how these work and why my tumble dryer has a long central electrode in the flame path with an adjacent earth pin that is angled so that there?s a small gap between the end of the insulated electrode and the end of the earth pin.
I ask as all the replacement ones I see for sale only have a single insulated electrode and no earth one. I?m assuming that the electronics for these must be a bit different and a single electrode type won?t work in mine.
It?s a White Knight gas tumble dryer. Only 30 years old now so I?d like to get a few more years out of it but Crosslee don?t stock spares for this machine any more and I haven?t seen anything similar on line.
The present earth pin has suffered some erosion/corrosion and it?s not always sensing the flame.
Hopefully, here?s a picture.
