4055538583 Genuine Auxiliary Burner Head for Electrolux Group Gas Cooktops, Small Aux Burner

This is a genuine Electrolux group burner head for the auxiliary burner, part number 4055538583. The auxiliary is usually the smallest burner on a gas cooktop, used for simmering and gentle heat. The burner head spreads gas into an even ring of flame, so a damaged one gives patchy, noisy or poorly lit flames. Check your parts list shows 4055538583 before ordering.

Uneven or lifting flames on the small gas burner

The burner head sits on the burner base and directs gas through a ring of ports, with the burner cap resting on top. Over time those ports clog with boil-overs and cleaning residue, and heads can warp or corrode from heat. Typical signs include gaps in the flame ring, flames that lift off the burner or burn yellow, a burner that is slow to light or goes out on low, and a cap that won't sit level. A good clean sometimes helps, but a warped or corroded head should be replaced.

Fitting the burner head

Make sure the burner is off and cool, and turn the gas off at the isolation valve. Lift off the cap and old head, then wipe the base and check the injector opening is clear. Seat the new head so it locates properly around the ignition electrode and any flame safety probe, refit the cap level and test that the burner lights cleanly.
