4055986626 Genuine Universal Knob Kit 40mm Stainless Steel Finish, Pack of 4 with Decals for Gas and Electric Cooktops UK-40S4

When the knobs on a stove are cracked, faded or missing, a universal kit is often the quickest fix. Electrolux part 4055986626, also sold as UK-40S4, gives you four 40mm knobs in a stainless steel finish, with inserts to suit common D shaped shafts and decals for marking the settings. It suits gas burner controls and electric hotplate switches on many cooktops and stoves.

Replacing broken or missing stove knobs

Control knobs take a lot of daily wear. Heat from the burners and hotplates makes plastic brittle, the inside of a knob can split so it spins without turning the control, and printed markings wear off with cleaning. A loose or broken knob isn't just annoying, it can make it hard to tell whether a burner is off. This kit includes inserts in two lengths for 6mm D and 1/4 inch D shafts, black and red pointer inserts, gas ignition collars and number and temperature decals, so you can set the knobs up to suit your appliance.

Fitting the new knobs

Make sure all burners and hotplates are off and the cooktop is cool. Pull the old knobs straight off and check the shaft shape and length. Choose the insert that matches, press it firmly into the new knob, then push the knob onto the shaft so the pointer lines up with the off position. Apply the decals to a clean, dry surface.

Questions about this part

Will these knobs fit my cooktop?
