4055494738 Genuine Door Gasket for Electrolux Group Appliances, Replacement Door Seal

Every appliance door needs a good seal, and genuine Electrolux part 4055494738 is a door gasket that does that job, closing the gap between door and cabinet. The appliance it belongs to isn't recorded against this number, and door seals are made to fit one door shape, so please check that 4055494738 appears on the parts list for your model before you order, or compare it closely with your old seal.

Signs a door seal is past its best

A door gasket keeps whatever is inside the appliance from escaping, whether that's cold air, oven heat or wash water. Seals harden, split and lose their shape with age, and food, grease or detergent build-up stops them pressing evenly against the cabinet. Depending on the appliance, a failed seal can mean frost and condensation, food spoiling, long cooking times, steam escaping, or water on the floor. A simple test is to close the door on a strip of paper at several points around the seal. If it slides out with no grip, the seal isn't doing its job.

Fitting the door gasket

Switch off at the wall first. Note how the old seal is held, whether it pushes into a channel, clips on or sits under a retaining strip, and take photos at the corners. Fit the new gasket starting at the corners and work along each side without stretching it. Close the door and check for an even seal all round.
