140139689024 Genuine Black Switch Housing for Electrolux Group Appliances, Replacement Housing for Push Button Switch

If a switch has started wobbling in its panel, a cracked housing is often to blame. 140139689024 is a genuine Electrolux group switch housing in black, the part that holds the switch in position and gives the button something to sit in. Electrolux sells it on its own, with a white version and separate buttons also listed. As the appliance isn't named in the description, check the number and shape against your old housing before you order.

Why switch housings crack and what it causes

Housings are moulded plastic, and years of heat, cleaning sprays and firm presses can make them brittle. Once a clip or wall breaks, the switch may push back into the panel when pressed, sit crooked or fall out altogether. That can lead to a button that jams, a switch that only works when pressed at an angle, or gaps that let moisture and grease reach the contacts. If the housing is sound but the switch still won't operate, the fault is more likely in the switch or its wiring, so check those first.

Swapping the switch housing

Power the appliance down at the wall, or at the switchboard if it is hard-wired, before opening any panel. Note how the switch and wiring sit in the old housing, and photograph the connections if you need to unplug anything. Fit the switch into the new housing until the clips lock, then refit the button. Make sure everything sits flush before turning the power back on.
