Original burner head for Sauter gas stove 8071834

The original Sauter burner head 8071834 is the part that distributes and directs the gas to create a uniform and stable flame on the stove. The part is suitable for Sauter stove models ACV20H30B, ACV20H30W, GCO640E and SHV631. An original part ensures a precise fit to the burner body and gas openings, high heat resistance and maintaining the function of the safety sensor.

The burner won't light? The flame comes out unevenly, about a half-circle instead of a full circle? In 65% of the cases we see in the field, the cause is a broken, bent, or cracked burner head due to an impact. Cleaning doesn't help – it's time to replace.

A moment before ordering – safety above all! To ensure a successful repair and maintain the longevity of the device, it is mandatory to use only original parts. Non-original parts may cause damage and compromise the safety of the device. Now click the 'Check Model Compatibility' button at the top of the page and our system will immediately confirm that the part is suitable for you.

Why doesn't the stove light or does the flame come out crooked?

The burner head is the ceramic or metal dome that sits on the burner body and distributes the gas into small nozzles. When it is in good condition, the flame comes out evenly on all sides. When it is cracked, bent, or has damaged enamel – the gas comes out unevenly, the spark does not ignite, and the flame goes out as soon as you release the button.

Signs of a damaged burner head:

• ✅ Flame comes out only from half of the burner
• ✅ Sudden shutdown after a few seconds of turning on
• ✅ Igniting only with an external fire, not with the electric igniter
• ✅ Whistling sound while cooking
• ✅ Blue-orange color in the flame instead of pure blue

The most common cause of damage is mechanical impact – a dropped pot, forceful cleaning, or improper lifting of the dome. Rubbing with abrasive paper is also a common cause we see.

What is the difference between an original burner head and a non-original part?

The original part is manufactured to exact specifications for the gas opening (nozzle) and the angle of the nozzles from which the flame emerges. Nozzles that are not aligned precisely cause an uneven flame even in a new part, and directly affect the functioning of the stove's safety sensor (thermocouple). A non-original part may cause the stove's safety sensor to not detect the flame and shut off the gas every time – a problem that is difficult to diagnose and that leads many to mistakenly think that the stove's safety sensor is faulty.

💡 From the experience of our technicians: When a customer comes in with “the stove’s safety sensor that was just replaced and no longer works” – in 4 out of 5 cases the real reason is a non-original burner head with the wrong nozzle angle.

🔧 How do you replace a burner head on a gas stove?

Replacing a burner head is an easy DIY task that requires no tools and takes less than a minute. Be sure to unplug the stove before replacing it, even if it doesn't seem necessary.

Replacement steps:

1. ⚠️ Make sure the stove is completely cold.
2. Lift the pot holders (iron grid) above the relevant burner.
3. Lift the old burner head straight up – it is not screwed on, it simply sits on the burner body.
4. Clean the burner body underneath gently with a damp cloth and dry.
5. Place the new burner head on the burner body – make sure it sits flat and even around the entire circumference.
6. Bring back the iron mesh.
7. Connect to power and check for power.

⚠️ Important: If the stove has small supports (asterisk) above the burner, remove them before lifting the large grate.

💡 Tip from the experts

From our technicians' experience, the number one cause of rapid damage to a burner head is cleaning with concentrated soap without rinsing thoroughly . Residues of cleaning agent in the nozzles burn off the next time you light them and create a layer of carbon that clogs the nozzles very quickly. The right tip: Wash the burner head only in boiling water with a little dishwashing liquid, use a thin lubricant to clean the nozzles, and dry completely before putting it back in – at least an hour in the air, do not leave it wet. A burner head that is cleaned properly lasts 5-8 years. A head that is cleaned forcefully or with harsh materials – lasts less than a year.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Can I replace a burner head myself?

Yes, this is the simplest replacement on a gas stove. The burner head is not screwed or attached – it simply sits on the burner body by gravity. Lift, put down, and no tools are needed. The operation takes about 30 seconds in practice. The only important thing is to disconnect the power before and completely dry the new part before lighting it.

How do you find the model number of the stove?

The model sticker on a gas stove is usually located on the frame below the cooktop – accessed by slightly lifting the stove from the side. On built-in stoves, the sticker is sometimes located on the side of the stove, visible when you open the kitchen cabinet to the side.

Why does the flame go out as soon as you release the button?

When the flame goes out immediately when the knob is released, the common cause is a burner head with clogged nozzles that prevent the flame from heating the stove's safety sensor sufficiently. The sensor does not detect a flame and shuts off the gas as a safety measure. Replacing the burner head with a clean original burner head solves the problem in 60% of cases before the stove's safety sensor itself needs to be checked.
