Washers like this sit between two threaded fittings, such as where the supply joins the appliance inlet, and form the gas-tight seal once the joint is tightened. Any time a gas joint is opened up, the old washer should be replaced with a new one rather than reused.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy gas washers should be replaced, not reused\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA sealing washer works by compressing slightly as the fitting is tightened, filling the tiny gaps between the two faces. Once it has been compressed and heated over years of use, it loses the ability to spring back. Reusing an old washer, or leaving one that has hardened or split, can lead to a gas leak at the joint. Warning signs include a smell of gas near the appliance, bubbles when the joint is tested with soapy water, or a faint hiss. If you smell gas, turn off the supply, ventilate the area and call a licensed gas fitter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePart details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenuine Electrolux part 4055538799\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSealing washer for gas connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFit a new washer whenever a gas joint is opened\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor installation by a licensed gas fitter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eGas safety first\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn Australia, work on gas connections must be done by a licensed gas fitter.
