It covers a terminal connection so the bare metal isn't exposed to the chassis, other wires or fingers. Boots like this are easy to lose or crack during a repair, and they matter more than their size suggests. No model list is published for this number, so check your appliance's parts list shows 140258718018.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy a missing connector boot is worth replacing\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTerminal connections inside an appliance carry mains voltage, and many sit close to metal panels, brackets or other wiring. The insulating boot covers the connector and stops it touching anything it shouldn't. If a boot is left off after a repair, has gone brittle from heat, or has split, the exposed terminal can short to the chassis and trip the safety switch, arc and burn, or give someone a shock when the panel is next removed. Replacing a damaged boot is a small fix that keeps the wiring as safe as it was built.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePart details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenuine Electrolux part 140258718018\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInsulating boot for a terminal connector\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReplaces a lost, split or heat-damaged boot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFitting the boot\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSwitch the appliance off at the wall, or isolate it at the switchboard if it's hard-wired, before touching any wiring.

Disconnect the terminal, fit the boot onto the lead, then push the connector back on firmly and work the boot over it so no metal shows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eQuestions about this part\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I just use electrical tape instead?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTape can unwind or go soft with the heat inside an appliance.
