140169371014 Genuine Wok Burner Inner Cap 17/19 MJ for Electrolux, Westinghouse Gas Cooktops, BIC Burner Centre Cap

Part number 140169371014 is the genuine inner cap for the BIC wok burner rated at 17/19 MJ, as used on Electrolux and Westinghouse gas cooktops. It's the centre cap that sits in the middle of the burner. Only the inner cap is supplied, so the outer cap and crown are separate parts. With no model list on file, check that your cooktop's parts list or old cap shows 140169371014.

Why a damaged wok burner cap matters

The burner cap spreads the gas so the flame forms a neat, even ring. On a wok burner the inner cap handles the centre flame, while the outer cap covers the larger ring. A cap that is warped, chipped, heavily corroded or missing gives uneven, lazy or lifting flames, yellow tips, soot on pans, or a centre ring that is hard to light. Boil-overs and harsh cleaners take their toll over time, and small caps also go missing after cleaning. Sitting the cap squarely matters too, as a misaligned cap causes poor ignition and patchy heat.

Fitting the inner cap

Make sure all burners are off and the cooktop is completely cool. Lift off the old inner cap and clean any food or grease from the burner ports with a soft brush. Sit the new cap squarely so it locates properly on the crown, then light the burner and check for an even blue flame. If the flame still lifts or burns yellow, have a licensed gas fitter check the burner.
