HEPA filters trap very fine dust and allergens that would otherwise blow straight back into the room, and they're a common fitting on Electrolux vacuum cleaners. Our stock record names this part simply as a HEPA filter, without the vacuum model, so check that the number on your old filter matches before you buy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy a tired HEPA filter makes a vacuum work harder\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA HEPA filter is the last line of defence for the air leaving a vacuum. Its dense pleated media catches particles so small that the main filter lets them through. Because it works so hard, it slowly clogs, and a clogged HEPA filter chokes the airflow. The signs are weaker suction, a hotter motor, a whistling or strained sound and, on some machines, the thermal cut-out stopping the motor. A cracked frame or split seal lets dust bypass the filter altogether, which shows up as a dusty smell or a film of dust around the exhaust.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePart details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenuine Electrolux HEPA filter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart number 140117409023\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHEPA filter media for very fine dust\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVacuum model not on file, match the number on your old filter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFitting the HEPA filter\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSwitch the vacuum off and unplug it, or take the battery out of a cordless unit. Open the filter cover and note which way round the old filter sits, because the new one needs to go in the same way. Press it in until its seal sits flat all the way around, close the cover and run the vacuum briefly to check the airflow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eQuestions about this part\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs a HEPA filter washable?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThat depends on the filter. Some Electrolux HEPA filters are rinsable and others are designed for replacement only. The stock record for 140117409023 doesn't say, so check your vacuum's user manual or the markings on the old filter before putting it under the tap.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Electrolux","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44551069466702,"sku":"140117409023","price":15.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/partsshop.com.au\/products\/140117409023-genuine-electrolux-vacuum-hepa-filter","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
