140237968015 Genuine Sponge Filter Assembly for Electrolux Group Appliances, Replacement Foam Filter Element

Part 140237968015 is a genuine Electrolux group sponge filter assembly. Sponge, or foam, filters catch fine lint and dust that would otherwise clog the parts further along the airflow. Electrolux uses them in several types of appliance, and the description doesn't name which one this suits, so compare the shape and number with your current filter. Another sponge filter assembly sits under a different number, so take care to match the right one.

Why sponge filters need replacing

A foam filter works by trapping particles in its open cell structure. Washing it restores most of the airflow, but after many cleans the foam compresses, tears or hardens, and fine dust starts slipping through. A clogged or damaged filter cuts airflow, which can mean longer run times, weaker suction or drying, overheating, error messages and a musty smell. If your filter has holes, crumbles when squeezed or stays discoloured after washing, it's time for a new one.

Fitting and looking after the filter

Switch the appliance off and unplug it before removing a filter. Fit the new sponge filter exactly where the old one sat, with no gaps around the edge that would let dust bypass it. To clean it later, rinse in clean lukewarm water without detergent unless your manual says otherwise, squeeze gently and let it dry completely before refitting.
