4055387254 Genuine Fan Bearing Sleeve for Electrolux Group Air Conditioners, Indoor Fan Shaft Bearing Replacement

A squeak or rumble from the indoor unit often traces back to a worn fan bearing. Part 4055387254 is a genuine Electrolux bearing sleeve for Electrolux group air conditioners, used where the fan shaft is supported. A matching bearing pedestal is listed separately as 4055387262. We don't have a model list for this sleeve, so compare it with the old part or send your model number through the parts enquiry form.

Noisy air conditioner fan? Check the bearing

In a wall split unit, the long cross-flow fan is driven by the motor at one end and supported by a bearing at the other. As that bearing wears, the fan shaft gets play and the barrel can run off-centre. You'll hear a squeak at start-up, a rhythmic ticking or rumble while running, or see the fan rubbing on the housing. Left alone, a worn bearing can damage the fan and make the motor work harder. Replacing the sleeve is a small job compared with the damage it prevents.

Changing the bearing sleeve

Switch the unit off and isolate it at the switch or circuit breaker before opening it. Access usually means removing the front cover and drain tray to free the fan, so if you're not confident, have a licensed air conditioning technician do it. Clean the shaft end, fit the new sleeve the same way round as the old one, and check the fan spins freely by hand before reassembly.

Questions about this part

Should I replace the bearing pedestal too?

If the pedestal is cracked, distorted or the old sleeve was loose in it, yes. Replacing both together, using 4055387262 for the pedestal, saves opening the unit twice. If the pedestal is sound, the sleeve on its own may be enough.
