140289448015 Genuine Heater 2200W 240V for Electrolux Group Appliances, Replacement Heating Element Rated 2200 Watts

Genuine Electrolux group part 140289448015 is a 2200W heater rated for 240V. Electrolux's description gives the rating but not the appliance it belongs to, and heaters of the same wattage can have very different shapes and mountings. Compare the number and shape with the heater you're replacing, or send us the model and product number from your appliance so we can confirm the fit.

Signs a heating element has failed

A heater turns electricity into heat, and when it fails the appliance usually keeps running but never gets warm. Depending on the appliance, that can mean cold washes, damp clothes, dishes that don't dry or an oven that won't reach temperature. Some heaters fail open and simply stop working. Others short to earth and trip the safety switch as soon as heating starts. Before ordering, rule out the thermostat, temperature sensor and control, as those can stop a good heater from switching on.

Replacing the heater safely

Isolate the appliance first. Unplug it, or switch it off at the circuit breaker if it's hard-wired, in which case a licensed electrician should do the work. Turn off the water too if the heater sits in a wash system. Photograph the connections, then fit the new heater with any seals or brackets seated correctly. Check for leaks and correct heating before normal use.

Questions about this part

How do I check if my heater is faulty?

With the power off and the wires disconnected, measure across the heater terminals with a multimeter. A 2200W, 240V heater should read about 26 ohms. An open circuit, or any reading between a terminal and earth, means it has failed.
