140169212044 Genuine Phoenix Burner Crown Painted AU Version for Electrolux Group Gas Cooktops, Gas Burner Flame Spreader

The burner crown is the ported ring that sits between the burner base and the cap, and 140169212044 is the genuine painted crown for the Phoenix burner on Electrolux group gas cooktops. It's listed as the AU version. A crown that's warped, corroded or clogged gives a weak or patchy flame however clean the cap is. Phoenix caps and the thermocouple are sold separately.

Gas cooktop burner not lighting evenly? Check the crown

Each slot or port around the crown releases a small jet of gas that forms one flame in the ring. Spills, grease and cleaning products can block those ports, and years of heat can warp the crown or lift its paint so it no longer seats evenly. The result is a flame that is patchy, yellow or noisy, burners that are slow to light from the spark, or flames that go out on low. Replacing a damaged crown, rather than just the cap, is often what brings back a clean blue ring.

Fitting the burner crown

Turn all burners off, let the cooktop cool and isolate power if it has electric ignition. Remove the caps and lift the old crown off the burner base, noting how it lines up with the ignition electrode and the thermocouple tip. Seat the new crown in the same position, refit the caps and test each setting. Leave any work on gas pipes, jets or valves to a licensed gas fitter.

Questions about this part

Do I need to replace the cap at the same time?

Not always. If the cap is flat, undamaged and sits evenly, it can go back on. If it's chipped, warped or badly discoloured, replacing both together saves pulling the burner apart twice.
