Ariston 65153938 Gasket (Ignition Electrode)

This is an ignition electrode gasket supplied by Ariston under part number 65153938. It sits at the point where the ignition electrode passes through the appliance casing or burner plate, forming a seal around the electrode body. Its job is to keep the combustion area gas-tight at that entry point and to protect the electrode and its ceramic insulator from heat, moisture and products of combustion.

Gaskets of this type are consumable items. They harden, shrink or crack with heat cycling, and once the seal is compromised the electrode can be affected by leakage or contamination.

• Ignition faults or repeated lockouts where the electrode is otherwise sound
• Sooting, discolouration or heat damage around the electrode entry point
• A gasket that has hardened, flattened, cracked or crumbled on inspection
• Moisture or combustion residue tracking past the electrode seal
• Smell of combustion products or visible staining at the electrode mounting

• Confirm the part number 65153938 or the alternative number 1591247 against your appliance documentation
• Check the appliance model and serial plate before ordering, as gasket dimensions vary between electrode assemblies
• Inspect the electrode and its ceramic insulator at the same time; a damaged insulator will not be cured by a new gasket alone
• This part is fitted to a gas appliance; installation must be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer.
