4055560694 Genuine Grease Collector Shoulder Screw for Electrolux Barbecues, BBQ Grease Tray Mounting Screw

Genuine Electrolux part 4055560694 is a shoulder screw for the grease collector on Electrolux barbecues. A shoulder screw has a plain, unthreaded section under the head, which gives a part something smooth to locate on or pivot around. If the one on your barbecue has rusted, snapped or gone missing, this is the exact replacement under the 4055560694 number.

Why the grease collector screw matters on a barbecue

Fat and juices run off the plates during cooking and are channelled into a grease collector, usually a tray or cup under the cooking area. The collector needs to sit in the right spot to catch it all. When its shoulder screw corrodes or falls out, the collector can sit crooked, drop out, or leave a gap where grease runs onto the trolley, the deck or the burners. That creates a mess and a fire risk. A new screw gives the collector a secure mount again.

Replacing the shoulder screw

Turn off the gas and let the barbecue cool. Empty and clean the grease collector first, as a clean area is easier to work on. Remove the old screw, or any broken pieces, and clean out the threaded hole. Start the new screw by hand so it doesn't cross thread, then tighten until firm without overdoing it. Refit the collector and check it slides and sits properly.

Questions about this part

Can I use an ordinary screw instead?

A standard screw is threaded all the way to the head, so the collector would sit on the thread rather than a smooth shoulder. That can make it bind, wear or sit at the wrong height. Using 4055560694 keeps the original fit.
