The flame-failure device on a KM362 is a thermocouple heated by the flame, holding a valve open. As it ages its output falls, and the characteristic sign is a burner that lights, burns normally while you hold the knob in, and goes out a second or two after you let go. That description alone identifies the part, and it is a safety part doing exactly what it is meant to when it fails – shutting the gas off.
