4055538526 Genuine Ignition Button, Black, for Electrolux Group Gas Cooktops and Cookers 0574001249

Part 4055538526 is a genuine black ignition button from the Electrolux group, also listed as 0574001249. It is the push button you press to spark the gas burners on a cooktop or cooker. A cracked, missing or sticking button makes lighting the burners awkward, and replacing it is a quick fix. Check either number against your old button or your parts list.

Gas cooktop igniter button stuck or broken?

On many gas cooktops and cookers, pressing the ignition button closes a switch that fires the spark generator, so the electrodes click and light the gas. If the button cracks, falls off or sticks down, the switch behind it may not be pressed properly, or may be held on so the igniter clicks non stop. Before ordering, work out whether the button itself is damaged or whether the fault lies in the switch or spark module behind it. If there is no clicking at all with a sound button, look further.

Swapping the ignition button

Turn the gas off at the isolation valve, and switch the cooktop off at the wall if the igniter runs on mains power. Depending on the model, the button either pulls off its switch or is held from behind the control panel. Note which way it faces before removing it. Any work on gas connections must be done by a licensed gas fitter.
