4055575296 Genuine Spark Plug Clip for Electrolux Gas Cooktops and Cookers, Ignition Electrode Retaining Clip 0125008356

A loose spark plug makes for poor ignition, and this little clip is what keeps it in place. Genuine Electrolux part 4055575296, also numbered 0125008356, retains the spark plug (the ceramic ignition electrode) in its mounting on Electrolux gas cooking appliances. Clips are easy to lose or bend when a burner is pulled apart for cleaning or repair. No model list is held for this clip, so match it by shape against the original.

Gas burner not lighting reliably? Check the spark plug clip

The spark plug sits next to the burner and throws a spark across to the burner cap when you press or turn the control. For that to work the tip has to stay at the right distance from the burner, and the clip is what locks the plug in its seat. If the clip has gone missing, rusted through or lost its tension, the plug can move or rotate. You may hear clicking with no flame, only get ignition on some attempts, or see the plug sitting at an angle. A cracked plug or a wet burner can cause the same symptoms, so check those too.

Fitting the clip

Turn the appliance off at the wall and shut off the gas before taking anything apart. Note exactly how the old clip sits on the spark plug and mounting, as a photo makes it easy to copy. Push the new clip on until the plug is held firmly with the tip in its original position. Any work beyond refitting a clip, especially on gas fittings, should be done by a licensed gas fitter.

Questions about this part

Is the spark plug included?

No. Part 4055575296 is the clip on its own. If your spark plug is cracked or its lead is damaged, that is a separate part and should be matched to your appliance's model number.
