140031605029 Genuine Gas Control Knob Assembly with Housing in Silver for Electrolux Group Gas Cooktops and Stoves, A03160502

140031605029 is a genuine Electrolux gas control knob assembly in silver, supplied with its housing. Electrolux also lists it under the number A03160502. Because the housing comes as part of the assembly, it suits a repair where more than the knob itself is worn, cracked or discoloured. Compare the shape and spindle socket with your old knob, or check the number on your parts list, before you order.

Gas knob loose, stiff or cracked?

On a gas appliance the knob does two jobs. It turns the gas valve to set the flame and, on most models, it's pushed in to start the ignition and hold the flame safety valve open while the thermocouple warms up. A cracked knob or worn socket can slip on the valve spindle, so the flame doesn't change when you turn it, or you can't push it in far enough for the burner to stay lit. Heat and cleaners also fade silver finishes and wear off the markings. Never operate a gas valve with pliers, fit a proper knob instead.

Changing the gas knob

Make sure every burner is off and the cooktop is cool. Pull the old knob and housing off the spindle, noting how the housing locates. Fit the new assembly so the knob's socket lines up with the flat on the spindle and press it home. Light each burner to check the knob turns the flame smoothly from high to low. Any fault inside the valve itself is a job for a licensed gas fitter.
