140053522011 Genuine Steam Generator 1500W 220-240V for Electrolux Group Steam Appliances, Replacement Steam Generator Unit

Part 140053522011 is a genuine Electrolux group steam generator rated 1500W at 220-240V. It's the heating unit that turns water into steam in appliances with a steam function. The description doesn't say which appliance it's used in, and Electrolux group steam generators vary in rating and fittings, so match the part number and the 1500W rating to your old unit.

No steam? Signs of a failed steam generator

Inside the steam generator, an element heats a small chamber of water and produces steam on demand. Mineral scale is its main enemy. Hard water leaves deposits that insulate the element and block the outlet, and eventually the element can burn out or the chamber can leak. Common signs are no steam, weak or sputtering steam, an error code relating to steam or water, a tripping safety switch, or water appearing under the appliance. Regular descaling, where the appliance calls for it, helps a new generator last.

Fitting the steam generator

This is a mains voltage heating part. Cut the power at the power point or switchboard, and shut off the water supply if the appliance is plumbed in. A licensed electrician or qualified appliance technician should fit it, and hard-wired appliances need a licensed electrician. Photograph the wiring and hose connections, use new clamps where needed, then test for leaks and confirm earth continuity before running a steam cycle.

Questions about this part

Can I fit a steam generator with a different wattage?

No. Stick with the 1500W rating and the same part number, as the appliance's controls and wiring are set up for the original. If your old unit shows a different number or rating, send it through the parts enquiry form with your model details.
