140169087016 Genuine Phoenix Burner Inner Cap for Electrolux Group Gas Cooktops, Suits Natural Gas and LPG

Part 140169087016 is the genuine inner burner cap for the Electrolux group Phoenix burner. The same cap is listed for both natural gas and LPG, so you don't need to match it to your gas type. Phoenix burners use separate inner and outer caps, and this listing is the inner one only. With no model list on file, check the number against your old cap or your cooktop's parts list before ordering.

Uneven flame on a Phoenix burner

The inner cap sits on the centre of the burner and shapes the flame from the inner ring of ports. Because it's right in the heat, it can warp, chip, lose its enamel or rust over time, and spills baked onto it can block the gaps that let gas out. Typical signs are a lazy or yellow inner flame, flames lifting off unevenly, the inner ring being slow to light, or a cap that rocks instead of sitting flat. A damaged cap can also stop the flame reaching the ignition electrode properly.

Part details

• Genuine Electrolux group part 140169087016
• Inner cap for the Phoenix burner
• Suits natural gas and LPG
• Outer cap not included

Fitting the inner cap

Turn every burner off and wait until the cooktop is completely cold. Lift off the trivet and old cap, then clean the burner head with a soft brush, making sure no ports are blocked. Sit the new cap flat and centred so it doesn't rock. A cap swap doesn't disturb any gas connections, but if the flame still looks wrong afterwards, have a licensed gas fitter check the burner.

Questions about this part

Does the cap need to match my gas type?

No. This inner cap is catalogued for both natural gas and LPG, so it suits either. Gas type does matter for injectors and some outer caps, so check those separately if you're replacing more than the inner cap.
