754010121 Genuine Trivet Grommet for Smeg Gas Cooktops and Freestanding Cookers, Pan Support Grommet Replacement Part

Smeg part 754010121 is a genuine trivet grommet for Smeg gas cooktops and freestanding cookers. A grommet like this is fitted where the trivet rests, giving the pan support a snug, cushioned seat. Heat, spills and cleaning chemicals eventually harden or split them, and when that happens the trivet starts to rattle and shift. Compare the number with your old grommet or your Smeg parts list before ordering.

Signs a Smeg trivet grommet needs replacing

The grommet is a small part with a real job. It holds the trivet in position and takes up the gap between the metal and the cooktop, so the pan support doesn't skate around when you slide a pot across. Grommets live close to the flame, and after a few years they can go hard, crack, flatten or drop out altogether. Common signs are a trivet that rattles, rocks or sits slightly off centre over the burner, a scraping noise when you lift it, and fresh scratches on the cooktop. An unstable trivet also makes pots less secure, so it's worth fixing.

Replacing the grommet

Wait until the cooktop is off and cool. Remove the trivet and pull out the old grommet, using a small flat screwdriver if it has gone hard. Clean the hole or seat so it's free of grease and crumbs. Push the new grommet in until it sits flush all round, then put the trivet back and check it no longer moves.

Questions about this part

Is this the same as the Smeg pan stand pad?

No. Smeg lists the trivet grommet 754010121 separately from the cast iron pan stand pad 754010112. Check your parts list or the old part to see which one your cooktop uses, as some models may use both.
