The sump is the collection chamber in the base of the dishwasher tub, and the air trap is the chamber that lets the machine sense its water level by trapping a pocket of air for the pressure switch. No models are on file for 140000494413, so compare it with your parts list before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eLeaking sump or water level problems\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause the sump assembly sits at the lowest point of the wash system, any crack or failed seal there shows up as water in the base tray and often trips the leak protection. The air trap side is more subtle. If it's blocked with grease or food, or split, the pressure switch can't read the water level properly. The dishwasher may overfill, underfill, keep topping up, or stop with a fill or level fault even though water is coming in. Clean out the air trap first, and if the housing is damaged or the trouble keeps returning, replace the assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePart details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenuine Electrolux part 140000494413\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWater sump assembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes the air trap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDishwasher models not on file\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFitting the sump assembly\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlan for a bit of time on this one. Isolate power and water, remove the filters and lower spray arm, and pull the dishwasher out to reach the base. Photograph every hose, clamp, wire and the pressure switch tube before you disconnect them. Transfer any parts the new assembly doesn't include, use fresh seals where needed, and leak test with a short program before refitting the dishwasher.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eQuestions about this part\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the air trap for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe air trap holds a pocket of air that's compressed as the water level rises. A small tube carries that pressure to the level switch, which tells the dishwasher when to stop filling. Blockages or cracks give false level readings.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Electrolux","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44551265878094,"sku":"140000494413","price":7.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/partsshop.com.au\/products\/140000494413-genuine-electrolux-dishwasher-water-sump-assembly-with-air-trap","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
