140070276039 Genuine Fridge Evaporator for Electrolux Group Refrigerators, Replacement Refrigerator Cooling Evaporator Coil

This is a genuine Electrolux group refrigerator evaporator, part 140070276039. The evaporator is the cold coil inside the cabinet where refrigerant absorbs heat from the fridge. Electrolux's description ends in END PI, a version note we haven't confirmed, and no models are listed, so a refrigeration technician should match it to your fridge using the part number.

Signs of a leaking or damaged evaporator

Liquid refrigerant boils off inside the evaporator, pulling heat out of the air that passes over it. If the evaporator develops a leak, often from corrosion or a slip with a sharp tool while defrosting, the refrigerant escapes and cooling fades away. Look for a fridge that runs constantly but stays warm, a frost pattern covering only part of the coil, or oily marks on the coil. Ice-blocked coils point more often to a defrost fault than a failed evaporator, so get it diagnosed first.

Licensed refrigeration work

Changing an evaporator means opening the sealed refrigerant system. In Australia that work must be done by a technician holding a refrigerant handling licence. Unplug the fridge before work starts. The technician will recover the refrigerant, braze in the new evaporator, pressure and leak test, evacuate and recharge to the fridge's specification, then check temperatures over a full cycle.

Questions about this part

Can I fit an evaporator myself?

No. The evaporator is part of the sealed refrigerant system, and Australian rules require a licensed refrigeration technician to open and recharge it. Have your technician confirm the part number for your fridge before you order 140070276039.
