140001895014 Genuine Auto Reset Thermostat 36TXE11 for Electrolux Group Appliances, Self Resetting Thermostat

Part 140001895014 is a genuine Electrolux automatic reset thermostat carrying the type code 36TXE11. An automatic reset thermostat opens its contacts at a set temperature and closes them again by itself once it cools, with no button to press. Our records don't list the appliance or its switching temperatures, so compare the 36TXE11 marking and the part number on your old thermostat before ordering.

Symptoms of a failed auto reset thermostat

Thermostats like this protect or control a heater by switching it off when things get too hot, then back on as they cool. When the contacts weld shut, the heater can run on and overheat, which may trip a separate safety cut-out. When they fail open, the heater never comes on, so the appliance stays cold, doesn't dry, or a fridge's defrost never runs, depending on where it's fitted. Checking continuity at room temperature with a multimeter is the quickest test, as a healthy thermostat of the normally closed type should read closed when cool.

Fitting the thermostat

Isolate the power first. If the appliance is hard-wired, the work should be done by a licensed electrician. Note which terminals the wires connect to and how the thermostat is mounted, since good contact with the surface it senses is essential. Reuse any clip or bracket from the old one, fit the new thermostat flat against its mount, reconnect the wires and test the appliance through a full cycle.
