![]() Since the potentiometer gas valve is no longer available, I do not suggest any tampering with it nor any type of modifications to it. Not solutions to replace existing obsolete parts. Reason is, on line merchants market currently available and commonly sold parts. Searching online will not obtain the results wanted, as you're finding out and sad to say. I was unable to get the venturi plug out and am pretty much unwilling to attempt to drill it out. Is there any hope for me to get this burner working? Any other tricks up your sleeve for me to try? I have also read that there is something called a Potentiometer that can go bad, but I don't know what that is (part number 20-01-872, also discontinued) I have read elsewhere that some of these valves become corroded and can be monkeyed with so that they work again. However these parts have been discontinued. Which brings me to my suspicion that it's the valve itself that is bad (the part behind the on/off knob). I have blown compressed air into the hole at the bottom (below the burner cap, thru the venturi) while the other burners are lit and had the air blow thru those flames (does that make sense?) That led me to believe the tubing was not obstructed. The ignitor sparks and all the other burners work correctly. The back burner on my thermador Professional Cooktop, GPS364GL does not light. Before I give up completely, I would like your opinion if I am correct in my assumption. It appears that the part I need (or think I need) has been discontinued. I have been searching online for a solution to this problem. ![]()
