4055539615 Genuine Rangehood Metal Grease Filter with Neutral Clip for Electrolux Group Rangehoods

Part 4055539615 is a genuine Electrolux metal grease filter for rangehoods, fitted with a neutral clip. It catches grease from cooking vapour before it reaches the fan and ducting. Rangehood filters come in many sizes and shapes, so measure your old filter and compare how it clips in, or check your rangehood's parts list shows 4055539615, before ordering.

Signs your rangehood grease filter needs replacing

Every time you cook, the rangehood fan pulls steam and grease-laden air through the metal filter. The filter traps the grease so it doesn't coat the fan, motor and ducting. A clogged filter cuts airflow, so the rangehood gets louder but clears less smoke and steam, and grease can start to drip back onto the cooktop. Once a filter is bent, torn, corroded or won't clip in securely, it no longer seals properly and grease goes straight past it. A missing filter also leaves the fan blades exposed to fingers and fat.

Swapping the filter

Turn the rangehood off at the wall first, and let the cooktop cool. Release the clip and lower the old filter out, supporting it so it doesn't drop onto the cooktop. Fit the new filter the same way the old one came out, then push it up until the clip catches. Run the fan briefly to make sure nothing rattles.

Questions about this part

How often should a metal grease filter be cleaned?

It depends on how much frying you do. A good habit is to check it monthly and clean it when you can see a grease film. Follow your rangehood manual for cleaning, and replace the filter once it's damaged rather than just dirty.
