4055550000 Genuine Selector Switch for Electrolux Group Ovens, Oven Function Selector Replacement

Electrolux part 4055550000 is a genuine selector switch for Electrolux group ovens. A selector switch sits behind a control knob and connects different heating circuits depending on the setting you pick, such as fan forced, bake or grill. Selector switches vary in the number of positions and terminals, and we don't have a model list for this one, so check 4055550000 against the parts list for your oven before you order.

Faults that point to an oven selector switch

Each position on a selector switch closes a particular set of contacts. Over years of use those contacts can burn, pit or wear, and the switch body can crack from heat. The result is often a function that does nothing while others still work, an oven that only heats when the knob is wiggled, or one that won't switch off. A burning smell or browned plastic near the switch is a warning to stop using the oven until it's checked. A continuity test on each position, with the power isolated, confirms a faulty switch.

Fitting a selector switch

Isolate the oven at the circuit breaker or isolating switch before taking off any panel. Photograph the wiring and label each lead, because selector switches have several terminals that must go back exactly where they came from. Moving the leads across one at a time helps avoid mix-ups. As most ovens are hard-wired, the repair should be carried out by a licensed electrician.

Questions about this part

Can I fit a selector switch from a different oven if it looks the same?

It's not worth the risk. Switches that look alike can have different internal contact patterns, which could power the wrong element. Use the part number from your oven's parts list, and ask us through the enquiry form if you need it checked.
