4055560629 Genuine Medium Cast BBQ Grill Plate for Electrolux Barbecues, Barbecue Grill with Open Bars Replacement

This genuine Electrolux medium cast grill, part number 4055560629, is the open bar cooking plate for Electrolux barbecues. Unlike a solid hotplate, a grill lets fat drain away between the bars and gives steaks and sausages those char lines. Barbecue plates come in different sizes, so measure your existing grill or find the 4055560629 number before ordering.

Signs your BBQ grill plate is worn out

Grill plates sit right over the flame, so they see more heat than almost any other part of the barbecue. Over time the bars can crack, sag, or rust thin, and the cooking surface becomes rough and hard to clean. Food starts sticking, flare ups get worse as fat pools in damaged spots, and flakes of rust can end up on the food. If a firm scrub and a fresh seasoning don't bring the grill back, a replacement is the safer choice.

Putting the new grill in place

Turn off the gas at the bottle or supply and let the barbecue cool completely. Lift the old grill straight out and check the ledges it sits on for damage or built up grease. Drop the new grill into place so it rests flat and doesn't rock. Coat the bars lightly with oil and run the barbecue on low for a short while to season it before cooking.

Questions about this part

Should I replace the hotplate at the same time?

Only if it's also worn. The grill and hotplate wear at different rates, so inspect both for cracks, warping and deep rust. The medium cast hotplate is sold separately under its own part number if you need it.
