Measure the old gasket or check the number on your parts list before ordering 4055997631.

What the burner sump gasket does

Spills and boil-overs run toward the burners, and the sump gasket stops that liquid seeping under the cooktop surface into the gas fittings and wiring below. It also cushions the burner assembly against the top. When the gasket hardens, shrinks or breaks up, you may see liquid under the cooktop, staining or residue around the burner well, a burner that sits crooked, or rattling when pans move. Fitting a new gasket whenever a burner is serviced is good practice.

Replacing the sump gasket

Isolate the gas and switch the cooktop off at the wall. Removing a sump usually means lifting the cooktop top or glass, which involves gas connections, so the job is best done by a licensed gas fitter. Clean the mating surfaces thoroughly, seat the new gasket evenly without stretching it, refit the sump and leak test before using the burner.

Questions about this part

Do all the burners use this gasket size?

Not necessarily. Each sump has its own gasket and different burners can use different sizes. This one is 160 x 168mm, so measure the gasket on each sump you're resealing and order the matching part for each.
