Product details
If a gas burner lights but dies the moment you let go of the knob, the thermocouple is the usual suspect. Part 4055538666 is a genuine Electrolux thermocouple made by Orkli, 275mm long, for Electrolux group gas appliances. Thermocouples come in many lengths and connector styles, so compare yours with this one and confirm 4055538666 in the parts list for your model.
How a thermocouple keeps a gas burner safe
A thermocouple is the sensing half of a flame failure system. Its tip sits in the flame, and the heat generates a tiny voltage that holds the gas valve open. If the flame goes out, the tip cools, the voltage drops and the valve shuts off the gas. When the thermocouple wears out, gets bent away from the flame or its connection corrodes, the voltage is too weak and the burner won't stay alight. You'll notice having to hold the knob in for a long time, or the flame dropping out mid cook.

Who should fit a thermocouple
A thermocouple is part of the gas safety system, so in Australia the replacement is a job for a licensed gas fitter. The gas must be isolated and the appliance switched off at the wall first. The fitter will position the tip correctly in the flame, tighten the connection at the valve without overdoing it, and test that the flame failure device cuts the gas when the flame goes out.
Questions about this part
Can I use a thermocouple of a different length?
It's best not to. Length, tip style and the connection to the valve all need to match for the thermocouple to fit and work correctly. Use the length your parts list calls for, and confirm 4055538666 against your model before ordering.
