The top plate is the main surface panel of the hob, with openings for the burners. It is the part to order when the surface is badly dented, cracked, chipped or stained beyond cleaning. Top plates are specific to each cooktop layout, so match 4055538492 to the number in your parts list before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhen a cooktop top plate needs replacing\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe top plate takes heat, spills, heavy pans and scrubbing every day. Enamel can chip and rust, stainless steel can warp or scorch, and glass tops can crack after a knock or a sudden temperature change. Damage around the burner openings is more than cosmetic, as it can stop burners seating properly and affect the flame. A cracked glass top should not be used. Replacing the plate is also a chance to check the seals underneath, which stop spills reaching the gas and electrical parts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePart details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenuine Electrolux part 4055538492\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTop plate for a gas cooktop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial, colour and models not on file, check your parts list\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eReplacing the top plate\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTurn off the gas at the isolation valve and the power at the wall.

Ask them to leak test and check that every burner lights properly afterwards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eQuestions about this part\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I order a top plate by colour?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe colour and finish of 4055538492 aren't on file.
