140136958018 Genuine Everel Toggle Switch for Electrolux Group Appliances, Replacement Toggle Lever Switch

Part 140136958018 is a genuine Electrolux group toggle switch made by component maker Everel. A toggle switch flips a small lever between positions and stays where it's set. Electrolux also lists a version marked 90, part 140136958034, and the catalogue doesn't name the appliance for either. Compare the number, lever and terminal layout on your old switch before ordering.

How toggle switches fail

Inside a toggle switch, a spring-loaded mechanism snaps the contacts together or apart as the lever passes its centre point. Over thousands of operations the contacts can pit and burn, the spring can weaken and the lever can crack or snap off. You might notice the switch needs jiggling to work, the appliance cuts in and out, the lever feels loose or floppy, or there's a crackling sound or burnt smell. A switch with scorched terminals should be replaced along with any heat-damaged connectors.

Replacing the toggle switch

Disconnect the appliance from power first, unplugging it or switching off the circuit if it's hard-wired. Hard-wired work belongs with a licensed electrician. Label each wire before pulling it off, as terminal positions matter. Most panel switches are held by a nut or snap-in clips. Fit the new switch the right way up, push the terminals on firmly and check the lever action before reassembling.

Questions about this part

Is this a straight replacement for the 90 version?

Not necessarily. Electrolux catalogues 140136958018 and 140136958034 as separate toggle switches, with the second marked 90. Without confirmation of what that means, match the number on your old switch and its terminal layout before ordering.
