4055189353 Genuine Rangehood Cassette Filter 186 x 515mm for Electrolux Group Rangehoods, Grease Filter

Genuine Electrolux cassette filter 4055189353 measures 186 x 515mm and suits Electrolux group rangehoods. Cassette filters are the removable panels under the hood that trap grease before the air reaches the fan. Rangehoods take filters in many sizes, so measure your old filter and compare it with 186 x 515mm, as well as checking the part number, before you order.

When to replace a rangehood grease filter

A cassette filter catches grease droplets from cooking so they don't coat the fan, motor and ducting. Washed regularly, a good filter lasts a long time, but eventually the layers clog, the frame bends, or the clips break. Signs it's time for a new one include a hood that seems weaker, grease dripping from the filter, a filter that won't sit flat or latch, and damage that cleaning won't fix. A clogged filter also makes the motor work harder and raises the risk of a grease fire.

Fitting the filter

Switch the rangehood off and let the cooktop cool. Pull the release catch on the old filter and lower it out at an angle. Slot the new filter's back edge in first, then lift and push until the catch clicks. Clean the filter regularly as your rangehood manual directs, and check how often your model needs it.

Questions about this part

How many filters does my rangehood need?

That depends on the hood width and model. Many hoods use two or more cassettes side by side. Count the filters in your hood, check each one measures 186 x 515mm, and order one for each position that needs replacing.
