140180639019 Genuine 5 Burner Welded Hob Top Assembly for Westinghouse Gas Cooktops, Replacement Cooktop Top Surface Panel

Built as a welded assembly, part 140180639019 is the genuine hob top for a 5 burner gas cooktop. Its Electrolux description carries a WH code, which we read as Westinghouse. The hob top is the large pressed surface around the burners that catches spills and carries the burner openings. If yours is badly scratched, warped, rusted or damaged around the burner holes, this is the panel to replace.

When a gas cooktop hob top needs replacing

Besides looking after the appearance of the cooktop, the hob top locates every burner and seals the cooktop's internals from spills. When it buckles from heat or is bent during cleaning or installation, burners can sit unevenly, caps may not seat properly and flames can burn poorly. Corrosion around the burner openings and chipped coatings let liquids under the top, where they can foul the ignition and gas taps. A sound, flat top keeps everything aligned and makes the cooktop much easier to keep clean.

Replacing the hob top

Turn off the gas at the isolation valve and switch off the power to the ignition before starting. Because the burners, jets and taps have to come away from the old top, this job should be done by a licensed gas fitter. Lay out the burner parts in order, transfer them to the new top, then leak test the connections and check each burner lights and burns evenly.

Questions about this part

Will this top fit a 4 burner cooktop?

No. It's described as a 5 burner hob top, so the burner openings won't match a 4 burner layout. Check the model and product numbers on your cooktop's data plate against the parts list, or send them through our enquiry form.
