140126138068 Genuine Left Hand Drain Plug for Detergent Dispenser, Electrolux Group Washing Machines, Left Side Plug

Part 140126138068 is the genuine Electrolux group drain plug for the left side of a washing machine detergent dispenser. On washers that store detergent in the dispenser, these plugs close the outlets you open to empty a compartment. If yours has gone missing or no longer seals, a new plug stops liquid seeping out. The matching right-hand plug is a separate part, 140126138050, so check which side needs replacing.

Signs the dispenser drain plug needs replacing

A dispenser drain plug is a small part with an important job. It stays shut between washes so stored detergent or softener can't escape from the compartment. Repeated removal, harsh cleaning or simple age can stretch or split its sealing lip. When that happens you may notice a slick of detergent on the floor or down the front panel, a compartment that runs dry faster than it should, or a plug that pops out with little effort. Swapping the plug is a quick fix that saves cleaning up spilt product.

Fitting the left-hand plug

Take the dispenser drawer out of the machine and give it a good rinse under warm water to clear detergent build-up around the drain opening. Seat the new plug fully in the left outlet, pressing or turning it the same way the old one came out. Pour a little water into the compartment and watch for leaks before refitting the drawer to the washer.
