140040653028 Genuine Evaporator Cover Assembly MD36 L for Electrolux Group Fridges, Replacement Inner Evaporator Cover Panel

This genuine Electrolux evaporator cover assembly, part 140040653028, is for Electrolux group fridges built on the MD36 platform, in the version marked L. The cover is the inner panel that hides the evaporator coil, and in most frost free fridges it also forms part of the air duct, guiding cold air from the fan into the compartment. Match the number on your parts list before ordering, as covers differ between models.

Damaged evaporator cover and fridge cooling problems

A cracked, warped or missing evaporator cover upsets the airflow inside the fridge. Cold air can bypass its intended path, leaving some areas too warm while others ice up, and the fan may become noisy if it catches on a distorted panel. Covers are often damaged when they're forced off to deal with a defrost fault or heavy ice build up. If the coil behind the cover keeps icing over, the defrost system needs checking as well, since a new cover alone won't fix that.

Fitting the evaporator cover

Turn the fridge off at the wall and empty the compartment first. Let any ice on the coil melt naturally and never chip at it, as a punctured evaporator means an expensive sealed system repair. Unplug any connectors for fans or lights fitted to the old cover, transfer them across and clip the new cover into place.
