4055986840 Genuine Universal Knob Kit 55mm Stainless Finish with Decals for Electrolux Group Cooking Appliances, Kit Code UK-55S4

Kit 4055986840 is the stainless finish version of Electrolux's 55mm universal knob range, supplied with decals and also known by the code UK-55S4. It's a genuine Electrolux group part. Stainless knobs suit appliances with a stainless fascia, where one odd black or chrome knob stands out. No model list comes with this kit, so check how your existing knobs attach before buying.

Why stainless cooker knobs need replacing

Every turn of a knob puts load on the small socket that grips the control shaft. Once that socket splits or wears, the knob wobbles, slips or pulls off in your hand, and on a gas appliance that can make it awkward to light a burner or turn it down. Stainless finishes also suffer from harsh cleaners and heat, which can leave them dull, pitted or peeling. Fitting a fresh kit gives every control the same finish and new markings from the supplied decals.

Changing over to the new knob kit

Turn all controls off and let the appliance cool. Work one knob at a time so the decals end up next to the right control. Ease the old knob off with a cloth behind it to protect the panel, clean the shaft, then press the new knob on firmly. Test that each one turns to every setting and back to off.
