140014525228 Genuine Compressor Drive Board Embraco FMXA9C for Electrolux Fridges, Inverter PCBA Drive

140014525228 is a genuine Electrolux PCBA drive, the inverter board that runs an Embraco variable speed compressor, in this case the FMXA9C type. Electrolux group fridges with inverter compressors use a separate drive board like this to control compressor speed. A second Electrolux number for an FMXA9C drive also exists, so match 140014525228 exactly, along with the code on the board fitted to your fridge.

Inverter fridge not cooling? The compressor drive board explained

A variable speed compressor can't run straight off mains power. The drive board converts the supply and powers the compressor at whatever speed the main control asks for, ramping up after the door has been open and slowing down once the cabinet is cold. When the drive fails, the compressor stops entirely while the lights, fans and display carry on, so both compartments slowly warm up. Some boards flash an LED fault code, and burnt components or a scorched smell can point to the drive. A failed compressor can look similar, so testing both matters.

Fitting the drive board

Unplug the fridge and wait several minutes so the board's capacitors can discharge. The drive is usually mounted on or near the compressor at the back. Photograph the plugs, swap the board and make sure every connector clicks home. This board handles mains voltage, so it should be fitted by a licensed electrician or a qualified appliance technician.

Questions about this part

How do I know my fridge has an FMXA9C compressor?

The compressor has a label on its body showing the Embraco model, and the existing drive board carries its own part number. Check both, and make sure the board in your fridge is 140014525228 or is listed against your model under that number.
