140063523017 Genuine Tube Protection Spring 55.5mm for Electrolux Group Appliances, Factory Replacement Protective Spring

Part 140063523017 is a genuine Electrolux tube protection spring, 55.5mm. Springs like this wrap around a tube, hose or capillary where it bends or passes an edge, stopping it from kinking, chafing or being cut. It's a small part, but if it's left off during a repair, the tube it protects can fail later. Confirm the number against your parts list, as the Electrolux description doesn't name the appliance.

What a tube protection spring does

Wherever a tube flexes or rubs against metal, it's at risk. A protection spring spreads the bend over a longer distance so the tube can't fold sharply, and gives a hard outer layer that takes the wear instead of the tube wall. Without it, a hose can kink and restrict flow, or a fine tube can crack or wear through over time. If you find a spring missing, stretched or crushed when an appliance is opened up, replace it so the tube stays properly supported.

Fitting the spring

Switch the appliance off at the wall, and turn off the water if the tube carries it. Any work on a gas line must be done by a licensed gas fitter. Note exactly where the old spring sits along the tube before removing it. Slide or twist the new spring into the same position without stretching it, and check the tube follows its original route.
