4055490421 Genuine Automatic Opening Motor for Electrolux Group Appliances, Auto Open Drive Motor Spare Part

Some appliances open a panel, flap or door by themselves, and this genuine Electrolux group motor, 4055490421, drives that kind of mechanism. Our records list it as an automatic open motor without naming the appliance, and there's no model list on file. Please match the number on the old motor or in your parts list before ordering, or ask us to check it against your model.

Automatic opening not working

Appliances with an automatic opening feature use a small geared motor to push or swing a part open at the right moment and, on some designs, close it again. The control board powers the motor and sometimes reads a switch to know the position. When the motor fails, the panel or door stays shut, opens part way and stalls, or you hear a click or hum without movement. Before replacing it, check for anything jamming the mechanism, a broken linkage or a loose plug, since these give the same symptom.

Replacing the opening motor

Switch the appliance off at the wall or circuit breaker before you start, and have a licensed electrician isolate and work on hard-wired appliances. Photograph the wiring plug and any linkage or cam before removing the old motor. Fit the new motor in the same orientation so the drive lines up with the mechanism, then run the opening cycle several times to test it.
