140207497011 Genuine Black Handle Spacer for Westinghouse Aspire Ovens and Cookers, Oven Door Handle Stand-Off

This black handle spacer, part number 140207497011, is a genuine Electrolux piece for ovens and cookers in the Aspire range, a design family sold under the Westinghouse brand. It sits between the door and the handle, holding the handle at a set distance so there's room for your fingers. Compare it with the spacer you're replacing, as compatible models aren't recorded for 140207497011.

Fixing a loose Westinghouse oven door handle

Handle spacers take a lot of strain because people pull on the handle every time the oven opens. The screw that holds the handle passes through or into the spacer, so if the spacer cracks or its thread strips, the handle starts to wobble or twist. Some people notice a click when they grab the handle, others find it sitting crooked or hanging off one end. Replacing a broken spacer before the handle gives way completely saves the door glass from being knocked when it finally lets go.

Fitting a new handle spacer

Turn the oven off and let the door cool before you start. Work out how the handle is fixed, as some screws hide under trim or inside the door, and take photos as you remove parts. Most handles sit on a spacer at each end, so check both while the handle is off. Snug the screws up firmly without overtightening, which can crack a new spacer.

Questions about this part

Are there other colours of this spacer?

This listing is for the black spacer. If your handle uses a different finish, check the part number on the old spacer, because a different colour would normally carry its own number.
