THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO AND INSTRUCTIONS. We had this problem and as a good husband, I ignored it for several months ( restarted the oven, BBQ etc) to avoid a heavy repair bill. Finally one day I HAD to start researching a fix ( new oven or a easily replaced part) The $30 fix won out ( 55-45). I delayed at least 2 weekends, then yesterday got it done!! Thank you again!!
Thank you for this video! It was exactly what I needed to repair my gas range!! I watched the video two times before starting and I was able to complete the task like a pro. Super helpful!!
Have just replaced thermocouple on an almost identical oven , wouldn't have attempted without having seen this excellent video tutorial,saved myself a tidy sum, thanks.
Roughly two years later watching this video, I'm back here again...I've had my Bertazzoni since 2015 and it's gone through two thermocouples now. Ridiculous!
Great video, my Bertazzoni brother! I've got the exact same model and was having the exact same problem with my oven staying lit. I ordered my replacement thermocouple, followed your directions, and now I'm back in business. Thanks again!
Thank you SOOOOOOOO MUCH! Fixed my Bertazzoni Heritage just in time for Thanksgiving! I thank you! I have a warranty, but my "loving wife" refuses to call... I looked like I was in the "KNOW" from your video, thank you!
Super helpful. Problem was oven would light then shut off within a minute or less. Had a slightly different model, ordered the correct thermocouple and by following the video, easily replaced the malfunctioning old thermocouple in under a half hour and now the oven works properly. Thank you!
Thank you! You are awesome. Just finished replacing the thermocouple. It took less than an hour, thanks to you and this great video. Appreciate your willingness to shoot and share it.
Have a similar model and the same issue. Followed your instructions and have a working oven again for less than $30. A repair technical quoted $480. Thanks for sharing!
We're having the problem for the 2nd time in the 10 years we've owned ours. The parts supplier is listing a different item number as compatible for the oven (508041 instead of 508026). Did you have this issue?
Excellent video, thank you. In my case a quick cleaning of the thermocouple did the trick (for now). Worth a try before going for the whole re-install.
Thank you so much for posting this. I had the exact same problem with a Bertazonni oven that is slightly different. Fixed the problem in just a few minutes after watching your video. I had the exact same problem - the thermocouple broke right at the sensor.
Thank you so much, believe it or not I got a quote for this repair in the San Francisco Bay area of $615. Bought the part on Amazon for $23 next day delivery and fixed it myself last night in 90 minutes. Please pin a PayPal or Venmo account, I'd like to buy you a beer!
It's such a simple repair $615 seems awfully steep... Glad to hear you were able to do it yourself. I added a PayPal link in the description - and I'll happily enjoy a beer!
Totally worked. Great video. The thermocouple size is actually 8mm but the English size you give is close enough. I had to remove the top burner bracket to get my big hands in there but that's easy. Five stars to you
Mine is the same as yours but the 5 burner Pro. Not one issue in 10 years. Oven gas kept turning off. Pretty much assumed it was the thermocouple. When I went to see if I could clean It I could tell that the wire to the tip was loose. Probably the cause so just waiting to UPS to delivery the part.
I was very successful with my repair. Just a couple of things I would like to add. 1.) Once the two srews from the oven floor botton pan are removed you need to raise the back of the pan, tilt it up a little bit and then slide it back a little to remove the pan from under the front lip of the range.. 2.) Pretty much the same with the top surface of the range where the burners sit. Raise the back a little first then push it towards the front because it sits under a little lip at the front of the range. 3.)Pay attention when getting your fingers, wrench to release the thermocouple on the top so you don’t damage any wiring. It is a very tight spot in there.. Just a couple of tips to pass along. Just take your time, it is quite simple..
Looks like a relatively easy fix, but will probably still hire someone, as I'm not comfortable messing with the gas line/valve for turn on/off. Thanks for the info! FYI the 508041 thermocoupler works for the X36 5 GGV X
I agree with all the positive comments below. Thanks for shooting and sharing, especially the tips regarding the screws! - My thermostat runs hot by about 50 degrees! Have you had to replace yours? I can't seem to fins anyone dependable to repair, and after watching you, I'm willing to give it go, I'm pretty handy. Any tips on replacing the T -Stat? Thanks much!!
The top bottom right pilot on My Bertazzoni range just started to clicking and I can not turn it off and it seems to effect the pilot in the oven because it does not lit up.. do you think this might be the issue?
It’s really hard to say without seeing the unit, but it doesn’t sound like a problem with the thermocouple. It may be a failing igniter or a problem with the gas valve.
We want to buy Bertazzoni 36' gas range , I was wondering how long you have owned yours before this problem happened ? and how do you like it ? would appreciate your feedback
Great video, thanks. Couple questions, does your fan always come on in the oven and stay on (and blow really hard the whole time). And does your oven take 20+ minutes to get up to 400?
Glad you liked the video. Yes the fan will come on when the oven is on. In my case it doesn’t seem to blow very hard, but maybe I’ve just gotten used to it. And I’d say my oven takes a good solid 15 minutes to get to 400. So 20 minutes isn’t out of the range of possibility.
Great video! i recently purchased a house with the exact some oven. I’m also having an issue with the gas burners where I have to hold in the knobs for a while to n order to turn in the burners. And advice how that can be fixed?
That sounds like possibly a weak igniter problem. You can test it easily by using a match - if the burners light up quickly with a match then you know it’s probably the igniters failing.
Mine has the same issue - I assumed this was just how it works, you have to heat up whatever is detecting that the element is on in order to keep the gas flowing.
Hey thanks for the video. I'm having the same problem and decided to try and replace the thermocouple. I'm having trouble getting the top of the oven off though. I've removed all of the screws from the burners and the 4 screws on the tabs on the back. It feels as if it is still secured somewhere on the front though. I can't find any other visible screws. For reference I have the A365GGVXT. I've read through the manual, but no luck there. Any advice?
Glad you got it figured out. Keep in mind it'll have to go back on in the same way - latching it on the front and then lowering the back down. It took me a couple of tries to get it.
Can someone please tell me if the cooling fan on these Bertazzoni's are loud? When do they come on and how long are they on for? When the fan is on, is it annoying or does it not bother you?
hey quick question, i love the bertazzoni design, and i love the italian craftsmanship, but ive been hearing and reading mixed reviews on this brand of Stove, some people love it and some people say its full of problems since day 1, specifically the oven. How is this stove in terms of just general use? i probably only use the oven maybe less than 20 times a year, mostly for big roast beef and turkey, etc, so 98% of the time, it'll just be the burners and maybe the griddle since i need the 48 inch one and that contains the griddle with the 6 burners. How is this stove overall? what are your 3 pros and 3 cons? and should i get it?
Aside from the thermocouple I haven’t had any other problems with the stove. I love the design of it, and the burners all perform well. They’re a little fiddly to clean, since they knock over easily and aren’t as beefy as Wolf or Viking style. But to me that’s not a big deal. It’s mostly personal preference and what you’re used to. If I had to buy a new stove I’d certainly consider another Berty.
thanks, just another question, i'm aware that the burners are not all the same BTU, it varies while you get one high powered one, and the rest are different BTU levels right? do you just find yourself using the highest BTU one most of the time and put other stuff on the lower BTU ones? I've never used a different BTU burners before, is it inconvenient? are the other smaller ones enough BTU for searing a steak? or do you HAVE to use the highest powered one? i might be searing steaks in 2 different pans, and I'd like a high powered ones for those too, not just the single one provided
Yes, on my model the burners are different BTU levels. I find myself using all of them for different tasks. The smallest of them I use for simmering only, but the rapid and dual wok burners are easily strong enough to sear. The semi-rapid burners may be not quite powerful enough. There will be slight variations from model to model so make sure to check the BTU output of yours.
Hi David. Yes, our right hand hinge on the X366GGVX-LP-FR does a weird "clunking" jerk when it is being closed during its last 10 degrees from upright/closed.
I service this brand. When closing the door does it have a distinctive and jarring almost as if you slammed it closed noise. If you spray WD40 on it and open and close the door multiple times (Wiggle up and down) it will fix this.
You can find links for the thermocouple in the video description, depending on your model number. If none of those are the right ones, you might have to Google around a bit.
You're the only person on UA-cam that I've found has a Bertazzoni range that isn't a dealer. Please, can you address the cooling fan on these ranges. I have heard they are quite loud and that the fans are always on. Since I have a small kitchen I would hate to hear a loud oven fan while sitting down to have dinner.
I have a Smeg, cousin to yours. Will not get hot .......try to find someone to fix it.........I have a better chance of seeing God. This is one of the only videos for this brand.
This over priced piece of crap has been nothing but problems. I already replaced some major electronics after 1 year of service. Now this!! To think one of my best friends sold me this thing! Looks great, but there are better name brand ranges that operate much better!

I must change my second and only had it since 2018
My second thermalcouple just died, but mine is 13 years old. Just ordered the third, and I'll try replacing it myself instead of paying someone $300
Great how-to video. I followed this and was successful replacing my own thermocouple! Oven is back in business.
Glad it helped!

Thanks for the video. Just replace mine and you were of great help. Took me just over an hour…
Glad it helped

Thank you! Ordered the part with your Amazon link and fixed it today! Your video made it a piece of cake! My beautiful oven is working great now!
LOL, When I read the partial title I thought it was going to say replace the whole range!!
Totally worked. Great video.

Thank you so much for your instructional....you saved our Thanksgiving!!!
Wow just in time. Very glad it worked for you.
Same model, same problem, your video made fix easy with part from Amazon. Thank you!
You're welcome! Happy to see this video is helping people.

Thanks for the good tips!
Thanks a ton, the way you displayed your manual really helped. I have the same exact stove and the same issues as you but now fixed. Thank you again!
Super helpful video! Worked for my Bertazzoni Heritage range
Looks like a relatively easy fix, but will probably still hire someone, as I'm not comfortable messing with the gas line/valve for turn on/off. Thanks for the info! FYI the 508041 thermocoupler works for the X36 5 GGV X
how did you take the bottom part out? There are 2 screws only, my panel won't come off.
What is the length of a thermal couple? The listing on Amazon doesn’t have the length I want to make sure it will work for my unit inch
Can you remove the thermocouple so it turns on like a normal stove?
I agree with all the positive comments below. Thanks for shooting and sharing, especially the tips regarding the screws! - My thermostat runs hot by about 50 degrees! Have you had to replace yours? I can't seem to fins anyone dependable to repair, and after watching you, I'm willing to give it go, I'm pretty handy. Any tips on replacing the T -Stat? Thanks much!!
Excellent video. Very helpful (and reassuring). Looks like something I can do myself.
The top bottom right pilot on My Bertazzoni range just started to clicking and I can not turn it off and it seems to effect the pilot in the oven because it does not lit up.. do you think this might be the issue?

We want to buy Bertazzoni 36' gas range , I was wondering how long you have owned yours before this problem happened ? and how do you like it ? would appreciate your feedback
It was already in a house we bought, so my guess is that it was about five years old. It also depends on how much you use the oven of course.
Great video, thanks.
Couple questions, does your fan always come on in the oven and stay on (and blow really hard the whole time). And does your oven take 20+ minutes to get up to 400?
Glad you liked the video. Yes the fan will come on when the oven is on. In my case it doesn’t seem to blow very hard, but maybe I’ve just gotten used to it. And I’d say my oven takes a good solid 15 minutes to get to 400. So 20 minutes isn’t out of the range of possibility.
So i did this and it still shuts off, probably 6 months after. Did yours revert back to shutting off?
Great video! i recently purchased a house with the exact some oven.
I’m also having an issue with the gas burners where I have to hold in the knobs for a while to n order to turn in the burners. And advice how that can be fixed?

never mind, just figured it out. I had to lift the back up and slide the top forward. Thanks for the walkthrough!
Glad you got it figured out. Keep in mind it'll have to go back on in the same way - latching it on the front and then lowering the back down. It took me a couple of tries to get it.
Really great video. What type of screw driver to remove top of the range at the burner cap location?
Flathead worked for me. Ignore the square hole in the center.
Can someone please tell me if the cooling fan on these Bertazzoni's are loud? When do they come on and how long are they on for? When the fan is on, is it annoying or does it not bother you?
Anyone have the part numbers to the screws around the burners that hold the top cover on? The last time mine was replaced, they stripped a few.
Same problem here. My Bush cooker only 5 years old but they told me they don’t do spare parts and I need to buy a new cooker if I want an oven 😡

thanks that helped now it works . Does anyone have trouble with the oven door hinges not working correctlly
Hi David. Yes, our right hand hinge on the X366GGVX-LP-FR does a weird "clunking" jerk when it is being closed during its last 10 degrees from upright/closed.
Mine too! X366GGVCR/01
I service this brand. When closing the door does it have a distinctive and jarring almost as if you slammed it closed noise. If you spray WD40 on it and open and close the door multiple times (Wiggle up and down) it will fix this.
It worked like a charm, thank you SO MUCH.
You're welcome!
You're a life saver! Thanks, man!
Thanks for the video. Where is everyone getting the parts? I need to replace a thermocouple on the Stove top......
You can find links for the thermocouple in the video description, depending on your model number. If none of those are the right ones, you might have to Google around a bit.
need to make sure i am finding the right part. I have the PRO36 6 DFS X , having a hard time to find what parts work with that model
It depends on which burner you're trying to repair. It's either 508045, 508046, 508047, or 508048 (from small to large) for the stove-top burners.
Great video. Thanks!
You're the only person on UA-cam that I've found has a Bertazzoni range that isn't a dealer. Please, can you address the cooling fan on these ranges. I have heard they are quite loud and that the fans are always on. Since I have a small kitchen I would hate to hear a loud oven fan while sitting down to have dinner.
The only fan noise that I notice is when I turn on the convection bake option. Otherwise it isn’t louder than any other oven that I’ve used.
I've had my Bertazzoni since 1/2015...I've had to replace this thermocouple three times since then. Yikes!
It seems if the oven gets heavy use the thermocouple isn't built to last unfortunately.
Great video...Thanks✌
Merci beaucoup!
Great help. Thanks!
