If the burner on your Zanussi ZCG551GNC stove won't stay lit, it's possible that the thermocouple is faulty and needs to be replaced. Here are the steps to replace a thermocouple:
  1. Turn off the gas supply to the appliance and allow it to cool down completely.
  2. Remove the grates, burner caps, and burners from the cooktop to access the pilot light and thermocouple.
  3. Locate the thermocouple, which is a thin metal rod located near the pilot light.
  4. Use pliers to loosen the nut that holds the thermocouple in place on the gas valve.
  5. Remove the old thermocouple by gently pulling it out of the pilot assembly.
  6. Take the old thermocouple with you to purchase a replacement of the same length and type.
  7. Insert the new thermocouple into the pilot assembly, making sure it is securely in place.
  8. Tighten the nut that holds the thermocouple in place on the gas valve, being careful not to overtighten.
  9. Reassemble the burners, burner caps, and grates on the cooktop.
  10. Turn on the gas supply and test the burner to make sure it stays lit.

It's important to note that working with gas appliances can be dangerous and should only be attempted by a qualified technician. If you're not confident in your ability to replace the thermocouple yourself, it's best to contact a professional for assistance.

Replacing a thermocouple is a relatively straightforward process, but it's important to follow proper safety procedures and turn off the gas supply before starting. Here are the general steps for replacing a thermocouple:
  1. Turn off the gas supply: Locate the gas shut-off valve, typically located behind or under the furnace. Turn the valve to the "Off" position to stop the flow of gas to the furnace.
  2. Remove the old thermocouple: The thermocouple is a small metal rod that is connected to the pilot light assembly. To remove it, use a wrench to unscrew the nut that attaches it to the assembly. Then, gently pull the thermocouple out of the pilot light assembly.
  3. Install the new thermocouple: Take the new thermocouple and insert it into the pilot light assembly. Make sure it's securely in place. Then, use the wrench to tighten the nut and attach it to the assembly.
  4. Test the new thermocouple: Turn the gas supply back on and relight the pilot light. Hold the pilot button down for about 30 seconds to allow the thermocouple to heat up. Then, release the button and check to see if the pilot light stays lit. If it does, the new thermocouple is working properly.
  5. Reassemble the furnace: Once you've confirmed that the pilot light is working with the new thermocouple, you can reassemble the furnace. Replace any panels or covers that you removed and turn the gas supply back on.

It's important to note that if you're not comfortable working with gas or if you're unsure of how to replace the thermocouple, it's best to consult a professional technician or plumber.
