85802710013480 Genuine Oven Door Handle Spacer for Electrolux Group Ovens, Handle Standoff Mount, Also 0271001348

An oven door handle is held clear of the door by spacers, and this is the genuine Electrolux oven door handle spacer, part 85802710013480. The shorter number 0271001348 refers to the same part. Spacers differ in length, profile and colour from range to range, so check the number on your parts list or compare it with your old spacer before you order.

Loose oven handle? Check the spacers

Each spacer sits between the handle and the door, with a screw running through it. It sets the gap your fingers need and spreads the load when you pull the door open. Because the door heats and cools every time you cook, spacers can crack around the screw hole or split along their length. The handle then rocks, sags at one end or comes away altogether. Replacing a broken spacer and tightening the fixings usually firms up a wobbly handle without the cost of a whole new handle.

Replacing a handle spacer

Switch the oven off at the wall and wait until the door is cold. Support the handle as you undo the fixing screw, since the other spacer will be carrying its weight. Slide the new spacer into position, refit the screw and tighten until firm. Overtightening can crack a new spacer, so stop once the handle no longer moves.

Questions about this part

How many spacers does an oven handle use?

Most handles use two, one at each end, though wide handles can have more. The number you need depends on your oven. Check the old spacers for cracks and order enough to replace every damaged one.
