140026775019 Genuine Door Sensor Magnet 15.7 x 12.7mm for Electrolux Group Appliances, Replacement Magnet for Door Sensing

Genuine Electrolux part 140026775019 is a door sensor magnet measuring 15.7 x 12.7mm. On appliances that use a magnetic door sensor, a small magnet sits in the door and a sensor in the cabinet detects it, telling the control whether the door is open or shut. If the magnet has cracked, dropped out or lost strength, the appliance can no longer tell when the door closes.

Appliance thinks the door is open

When the sensor can't detect the magnet, the control behaves as if the door is open. Depending on the appliance, that can mean an interior light that stays on, a door alarm that keeps sounding, fans that won't run, or a program that refuses to start. The magnet itself is simple, so failures usually come from it falling out of its pocket, its housing breaking or the door sagging out of line. Check the door alignment and the sensor wiring at the same time.

Replacing the magnet

Switch the appliance off at the wall before working on it. Note which way the old magnet faces, as some sensors respond to orientation, and fit the new one in the same pocket and position. Close the door and check the light, display or alarm now responds correctly before refitting any trims.
