Here's the genuine outer burner cap for the Phoenix burner, part number 140169073040, listed as the ANZ version for Australian and New Zealand cooktops. It's an Electrolux group part that covers the outer flame ring of the burner. A separate LPG cap is also stocked under 140169073024, and the record for this one doesn't state a gas type, so compare the number on your parts list rather than going by looks.

How a damaged outer burner cap affects your cooktop

Gas leaving the crown hits the underside of the cap and is spread into a neat ring of small flames. The outer cap on a Phoenix burner looks after the larger of its flame rings, so damage shows up quickly. Common signs are a ragged or yellow flame, gaps in the ring, flames lifting off the burner, an igniter that clicks away but struggles to light, or a cap that won't sit flat. Chips in the enamel, warping from overheating and corrosion after spills are the usual causes.

Checking and fitting the cap

Make sure every burner is off and the cooktop is cool. Remove the old cap and check the crown underneath for blocked ports, cleaning them with a soft brush rather than a pin that could enlarge them. Seat the new cap so it is level and locates on the crown. Light the burner on high and low and look for a clean, even flame. Any smell of gas means turn off the supply and call a licensed gas fitter.
