4055563334 Genuine Grill Ignition Spark Plug for Chef, Westinghouse Gas Ovens and Cookers GBC5266W GBC5266WNG GUK525WNG, Also 0049001192

Part 4055563334 is the genuine spark plug that lights the gas grill burner on Chef and Westinghouse cookers, also listed as 0049001192. Models on file are the GBC5266W, its GBC5266WNG version and the GUK525WNG. If the grill clicks but won't light, or there's no spark at the grill burner while the rest of the cooker sparks normally, this electrode is the usual suspect.

Gas grill not lighting

The plug sits beside the grill burner and receives high voltage pulses from the ignition system. A spark jumps from its tip to the burner, igniting the gas as it flows. Grease and food splatter build up on the tip, the ceramic insulator can crack, and the lead connection may corrode, all of which weaken or redirect the spark. You might hear clicking with no flame, see sparks jumping elsewhere, or need several attempts to get the grill alight. A cracked insulator always calls for replacement.

Safety first

Turn off the gas supply at the appliance isolation valve and unplug or isolate power to the cooker. Under Australian rules, a licensed gas fitter should carry out this replacement. Note how the plug is clipped near the burner and how its lead is routed, keep the spark gap the same as the old one, and test that the grill lights cleanly.

Questions about this part

The grill clicks but won't light, is it this part?

It may be. If the spark is weak, jumping to the wrong spot or the tip is cracked, the plug is likely at fault. Clicking with a good spark but no flame points instead to a gas supply or safety valve issue, which a gas fitter should check.
