85802710013605 Genuine Oven Door Handle Spacer, Ruby Core 36mm, for Electrolux Group Ovens, Old Part 0271001360

Part 85802710013605, also numbered 0271001360, is a genuine Electrolux group handle spacer for ovens from the Ruby Core range. Spacers sit between the oven door and the handle, holding the handle out from the glass so you can grip it. This one is listed at 36mm. Electrolux made several handle spacers for different door styles, so match the range and size to your oven.

Wobbly oven door handle? A spacer is often to blame

Oven handles take a lot of force every time the door is pulled open, and the spacers at each end carry that load. They also get hot. Over time a spacer can crack, strip its screw thread or split around the fixing, and the handle starts to wobble, twist or sit crooked. Left alone, a loose handle can come away in your hand while the door is hot. Replacing a broken spacer is usually quicker and cheaper than replacing the whole handle.

Fitting a handle spacer

Let the oven cool completely and switch it off at the isolator. Handle screws are usually reached from inside the door, so you may need to remove the inner glass or door trim. Take photos as you go so the glass goes back in the right order. Check whether the spacer at the other end is worn too while the handle is off.

Questions about this part

Should I replace the spacers at both ends?

Most oven handles sit on a spacer at each end, and both see the same heat and load. Inspect both while the handle is off and replace any that are cracked or have stripped threads so the handle sits evenly.
