4055521241 Genuine Safety Switch Kit Left and Right for Electrolux Group Appliances, L+R Safety Switch Pair

Kit 4055521241 holds genuine Electrolux group safety switches for the left and right sides, going by its L+R description. Safety switches tell the control system that a door, lid or guard is in the correct position before the appliance is allowed to run. Our records don't name the appliance and there's no model list on file, so confirm this number against your parts list first.

Faults caused by a failed safety switch

Safety switches are interlocks. They stay open until a moving part closes them, and the appliance won't run, or a function stays disabled, until both report that everything is in place. A worn, broken or misaligned switch can stop the appliance starting at all, cut it out part way, or leave a warning showing even though everything looks closed. Bent actuators, broken mounting tabs and burnt contacts are typical. Where switches work as a left and right pair, replacing both together keeps them wearing evenly.

Fitting the safety switches

Isolate the power at the wall or circuit breaker before you open the appliance, and use a licensed electrician for hard-wired units. Photograph each switch and its wiring, noting which side is which, since the left and right switches may not be interchangeable. Fit each switch so its actuator is pressed by the moving part, then test that the appliance only runs when everything is closed.

Questions about this part

Do I get both switches in the kit?

The kit is described as left and right, so it's intended to cover both sides. We haven't confirmed the exact contents, so if you only need one side or want to check, send us your model and PNC.
