Removing a burner assembly

I have a Coleman 7655-856. I read all i could find about the thermocoupler needing to be replaced. But no my problem is i cant get to the other end of the TC. It looks as if i have to take the WHOLE unit apart just to get to it.

It does not slide thru the hole in the front.

Any help would be awesome...thank you.

In many cases you have to remove the entire burner assembly to replace the thermocouple.

I agree..and that’s probably my case. I have the entire burner loose, by taking off the small front panel, it just won't turn and come out thru the hole. So it seems that I may have to take the entire front panel off. Unless there's some obscure panel that will allow me to get back there I'm just not seeing.

The only item you should need to remove is the small panel that holds the burner in. Try not to tear the gasket because you will have to buy a new one if you do. Look into the inspection port to see if for some strange reason something is preventing the burner from coming out.The entire front to the furnace should not have to be removed for burner service.

You remove the mounting plate and it should come out. Can you take a pic and post it ?

Thanks,

THANX, I got it out. I just had to twist it around a little...guess i was getting impatient..lol

Anyway, i put a new 24" universal thermocouple and it runs good as new
