083719200 Genuine Hob Switch Circlip for Glen Dimplex Group Cooktops and Cookers, Switch Retaining Clip Replacement

Part 083719200 is a genuine Glen Dimplex circlip used with a hob switch. A circlip is a small sprung retaining ring that snaps into a groove to hold a part in place, and here its job is to keep the switch secure. Glen Dimplex supplies parts for brands such as Baumatic, Linea Venini, Lofra and Technika, so match the part number rather than the badge on the front.

Loose hob switch? It may be the circlip

Switches on a cooktop or cooker are pushed and turned every time you cook, and they rely on small retaining parts to stay put. If the circlip pops off, rusts or loses its spring, the switch or its shaft can shift, so the knob feels sloppy, the switch sits crooked behind the panel, or it pushes inwards when pressed. Circlips also go missing during repairs, flying off when they're levered out. A new clip is a quick and simple way to stop a sound switch moving around.

Fitting a circlip

Switch the appliance off at the wall or isolator before removing knobs or panels, and on gas models turn the gas off too. Electric cooktops and cookers are often hard-wired, so any work beyond the knob and panel should be done by a licensed electrician. A pair of circlip pliers makes fitting easy. Seat the clip fully in its groove and check it can't rotate off.
