3053757062 Genuine Gasket Sealing Tape 1500mm for Electrolux Group Cooktops and Hobs, Cooktop Seal Tape

Part 3053757062 is genuine Electrolux gasket tape, supplied in a 1500mm length. It sits among the Electrolux group cooking appliance spares and is used for sealing on cooktops. Because the same tape can serve more than one model, the easiest way to confirm it suits yours is to look for 3053757062 in the parts list for your cooktop's model and product number.

Why cooktop gasket tape matters

On a built-in cooktop, a gasket strip runs under the edge of the glass or frame where it rests on the benchtop. It closes the gap so spills, steam and crumbs can't run down into the cupboard or onto the wiring below. The tape also cushions the cooktop against the bench. When a cooktop is lifted out for a repair, the old tape usually tears or loses its stick, so it should be replaced before the cooktop goes back in. Liquid finding its way into the cupboard below is a sign the seal has failed.

Applying new gasket tape

Isolate the cooktop at the switchboard, and turn off the gas too if it's a gas or dual fuel model. Hard-wired cooktops need a licensed electrician to disconnect and reconnect them. Lift the cooktop out, scrape off every trace of old tape and wipe the edge clean and dry. Lay the new tape in one continuous run where the old strip sat, without stretching it.

Questions about this part

Is 1500mm enough for my cooktop?

Measure the edge where the old tape was fitted. If you need more than 1500mm, order a second length. It's worth checking your cooktop's parts list too, since the factory part number tells you exactly which tape the manufacturer specifies for it.
