Replacement Fetco 1102.00161.00 Temperature Probe Assembly 8" Probe for Coffee Brewers & Water Dispensers, 12 Month Warranty & USA Business

Restore reliable temperature monitoring in compatible commercial beverage equipment with the Wholesale Sensors Replacement for Fetco 1102.00161.00 Temperature Probe Assembly, featuring an 8-inch probe, a 50K ohm thermistor specification, a strong 12-Month Warranty, and responsive support from a USA business. Designed for select Fetco coffee brewers, tea brewers, and hot water dispensers, this replacement probe provides the temperature feedback needed for consistent heating and beverage preparation.

The Fetco 1102.00161.00 is a temperature probe assembly used to monitor temperature in compatible commercial beverage equipment. Fetco parts documentation identifies the component as a temperature and LLC probe assembly, while commercial foodservice parts sources specify an 8-inch probe length and 50K ohm operating specification. WebstaurantStore lists the original component as an 8-inch, 50K ohm temperature probe assembly designed for select Fetco coffee brewers and hot water dispensers.

This Wholesale Sensors component is engineered as a perfect OEM-style replacement designed to meet or exceed OEM specifications for compatible Fetco applications. The primary manufacturer reference is 1102.00161.00. Verified previous or cross-reference numbers include FE1054.00002.00 and FE54022, which Parts Town identifies as previous part numbers for the current 1102.00161.00 temperature probe assembly.

Compatibility covers numerous Fetco commercial beverage machines. Verified applications include CBS-1152BP-V+, CBS-1131-XV+, CBS-1132-XV+, CBS-1152-XV+, CBS-1151-XV+, CBS-2131, CBS-2131XTS, CBS-2132, CBS-2132XTS, CBS-2141XTS, CBS-2142XTS, CBS-2152XTS, TBS-2121, HWD-2102, HWD-2105 TOD, HWD-2110, and HWD-2110 TOD.

Additional Fetco parts references associate 1102.00161.00 with equipment families including CBS-1221, CBS-1231, CBS-1232, CBS-1241, CBS-1242, CBS-1251, CBS-1252, CBS-2231, CBS-2232, CBS-2241, CBS-2242, CBS-2251, CBS-2252, MBS-1221, and TBS-1221. Because Fetco has produced different equipment revisions, electrical configurations, and production-year variations, the complete machine model and original probe part number should always be checked before ordering.

Fetco technical documentation provides further confirmation of the probe’s use in commercial brewing equipment. The parts diagram for the CBS-2241 identifies part 1102.00161.00 as the temperature and LLC probe assembly, 8 inches long. The probe is installed in the brewer’s tank assembly along with the water level probe, heating elements, tank fittings, insulation, and other temperature-control components.

Fetco documentation for the CBS-2131 and CBS-2132XTS also identifies 1102.00161.00 within the tank assembly as the temperature and LLC probe. Likewise, technical documentation for the CBS-2141 and CBS-2142XTS identifies the same part number within the tank assembly. These manufacturer documents demonstrate that 1102.00161.00 is used across multiple Fetco commercial brewing platforms.

Accurate water temperature is essential to commercial beverage preparation. A brewer that cannot correctly monitor tank temperature may struggle to maintain the conditions required for consistent operation. The temperature probe provides electrical feedback to the equipment’s control system so it can respond to changing water temperature.

The 50K ohm thermistor specification is particularly important when choosing a replacement. Thermistors operate by changing electrical resistance as temperature changes. The controller interprets that resistance to determine the temperature condition. A replacement probe must therefore provide the appropriate electrical characteristics, not merely fit physically into the same mounting location. WebstaurantStore specifically identifies 1102.00161.00 as a 50K ohm temperature probe.

Do not substitute another temperature probe solely because it has a similar length or appearance. A probe with an incorrect resistance curve can send inaccurate information to the controller even if it physically installs correctly.

When a temperature probe becomes worn, damaged, electrically open, shorted, or inaccurate, the equipment may receive incorrect temperature information. Potential symptoms can include incorrect tank temperature, inconsistent brewing temperature, water that does not reach the expected temperature, unusual heating cycles, temperature fluctuations, or other temperature-related operating problems.

These symptoms do not automatically confirm a failed temperature probe. Similar problems can be caused by the heater, solid-state relay, thermostat, wiring, connectors, control board, water level system, power supply, or other components. Proper troubleshooting is recommended before replacing the probe.

Begin by inspecting the original temperature probe and its electrical connections. Check for damaged wiring, loose connectors, corrosion, mineral buildup, damaged insulation, overheated terminals, broken conductors, or physical damage to the probe. Commercial beverage equipment regularly operates around heat and water, making careful inspection of electrical connections especially important.

A qualified technician can also test the thermistor electrically using an appropriate meter and the correct service information. Since a thermistor changes resistance with temperature, its electrical response can be checked at known temperatures and compared with the expected specification. An open circuit, short circuit, unstable reading, or resistance value outside the expected range can indicate a defective sensor or wiring problem.

Installation should begin by disconnecting electrical power and allowing hot water and equipment components to cool. Commercial coffee brewers and hot water dispensers can contain hazardous electrical voltage and extremely hot water, so service should be performed by a qualified technician when appropriate. WebstaurantStore specifically recommends installation of this component by a properly trained service technician.

Before removing the existing probe, document the original wire routing, electrical connection, mounting position, probe depth, and surrounding components. Follow the service procedure for the specific Fetco machine when accessing the tank assembly.

Carefully disconnect the original probe without damaging the mating wiring or connectors. Inspect associated grommets or sealing components and replace damaged sealing parts when required by the equipment’s service procedure. Fetco tank diagrams show dedicated level and temperature probe grommets used alongside the temperature probe in several brewer platforms.

Install the replacement probe in the correct location and route its wiring according to the original configuration. Keep wiring away from inappropriate contact with heating elements, sharp metal edges, and other areas that could damage the insulation.

After installation, reassemble the equipment, restore the water supply and electrical power according to the manufacturer’s procedures, and allow the machine to reach its normal operating condition. Verify that the displayed or measured water temperature is appropriate and that the heating system cycles normally.

Commercial coffee brewers and hot water dispensers do not use automotive OBD-II diagnostic trouble codes, so automotive sensor codes do not apply to Fetco 1102.00161.00. Any equipment-specific error message or abnormal operation should be diagnosed using the technical documentation for the exact Fetco model.

The 1102.00161.00 is not limited to traditional coffee brewing applications. Parts Town describes it as providing temperature control for coffee makers, hot water dispensers, and tea brewers, making it an important service component across several types of Fetco commercial beverage equipment.
