140139689016 Genuine White Switch Housing for Electrolux Group Appliances, Replacement Switch Surround and Body

Electrolux group part 140139689016 is a genuine switch housing finished in white. The housing is the body or surround that holds a switch in place and gives it a neat finish on the appliance panel. The catalogue doesn't name the appliance, so match the number on your old housing, or compare its shape and clip points, before ordering. A black version is listed separately as 140139689024.

Why replace a cracked switch housing

A switch housing takes the pressure every time someone presses the switch, and it also keeps the switch square in the panel so it moves smoothly. Heat, cleaning sprays and age make it brittle over time. Once it cracks or the clips break, the switch can push back into the panel, sit crooked, wobble or jam, and gaps can let moisture or grease reach the wiring behind. White parts near heat sources also yellow with age, so some owners replace the housing just to tidy up the look of the panel.

Fitting the switch housing

Disconnect power at the wall, or at the circuit breaker for a hard-wired appliance, before removing the switch. Hard-wired appliances should be worked on by a licensed electrician. Take a photo of the wiring, then release the switch from the old housing and transfer it across. Make sure the housing clicks fully into the panel so the switch sits flush, then reconnect and test it.
