4055538542 Genuine Semi-Rapid Gas Burner for Electrolux Group Gas Cooktops, Medium Burner Replacement

Part 4055538542 is a genuine Electrolux semi-rapid burner for Electrolux group gas cooktops. The semi-rapid is the medium burner, sitting between the small auxiliary burner and the larger rapid or wok burner, and it handles most everyday cooking. If yours is cracked, corroded or giving a poor flame, check 4055538542 against your parts list or old burner before ordering.

Gas cooktop burner giving a weak or patchy flame?

The burner mixes gas with air and spreads it to a ring of ports so it burns as an even blue flame. Spills, boil-overs and cleaning chemicals take their toll, and over time burners can corrode, crack or warp, or their ports clog with burnt-on food. The results are a flame that's yellow, uneven or missing in sections, a burner that's hard to light or goes out on low, and pans that heat slowly. If a good clean doesn't bring the flame back, replacing the burner is the next step.

Fitting the burner safely

Turn off all burners and the gas supply at the isolation valve, and switch the cooktop off at the wall if it has electric ignition. Let it cool fully. If the job means disturbing gas fittings or the injector, a licensed gas fitter needs to do it. After fitting, check the cap sits level, light the burner and look for an even blue flame all the way round.
