140250879016 Genuine Blower Assembly for Electrolux Group Appliances, Factory Replacement Air Blower Unit

Part 140250879016 is a genuine Electrolux group blower assembly. The catalogue lists it simply as a blower assembly, without the appliance or motor details, while a related blower with an AC motor and 6.3uF capacitor is listed under 140250879040. That makes the part number the key to getting the right one. Check 140250879016 against your old blower's label, or send us your appliance's model and product number.

Weak airflow or a noisy blower

A blower pulls air in and pushes it out under pressure through ducts or vents, whether that's extracting steam and smoke or moving air through a compartment. When the bearings wear, you'll hear rumbling, grinding or squealing, and the blower may slow down or stall. A cracked or unbalanced impeller causes vibration and rattling, while grease or lint build-up chokes the airflow. If the blower hums but won't spin, the motor or its capacitor may have failed. In every case, airflow drops and the appliance can't do its job properly.

Fitting the blower assembly

Cut the power before opening the case, either at the power point or, for a hard-wired unit, at the circuit breaker. Hard-wired units must be connected by a licensed electrician. Photograph the wiring, the blower's orientation and any duct connections. Transfer any seals or mounting rubbers the new assembly doesn't include, then check the impeller spins freely before restoring power and testing the blower.
