140205243029 Genuine Door Reed Switch for Electrolux Group Appliances, Magnetic Door Sensor Switch Replacement

Genuine Electrolux door reed switch, part number 140205243029. A reed switch is a small sealed contact that opens or closes when a magnet in the door moves near it, letting the appliance know whether the door is shut. It's used on Electrolux group appliances, and there's no model list on file for this number. Check that the code on your old switch, or in your appliance's parts list, matches before ordering.

Signs a door reed switch has failed

Because a reed switch has no lever to press, it relies purely on the magnet in the door coming close enough to switch the contacts. When the switch fails, the appliance can think the door is open when it's shut, or the other way around. That can show up as a light that stays on or won't come on, a fan that stops or keeps running when it shouldn't, door alarms sounding, or a function that refuses to start. A cracked glass reed, a damaged lead or a magnet that has shifted in the door can all cause it, so check the magnet first.

Replacing the reed switch

Isolate the power at the wall or circuit breaker first. Note the switch position and the cable routing, as the switch has to line up with the door magnet to work. Handle the new switch gently, since the glass reed inside is fragile. Once it's fitted, open and close the door a few times to confirm the appliance responds.
