4055558110 Genuine Fridge Temperature Sensor for Electrolux Group Fridges and Fridge Freezers

Part 4055558110 is the genuine Electrolux temperature sensor for fridges. It's the small probe that reports the compartment temperature to the fridge's electronic control, so the control knows when to cool and when to rest. Electrolux uses it in its group fridges, and there's no model list on file. Check 4055558110 against your fridge's parts list before ordering.

Fridge too warm or freezing food? Test the temperature sensor

Electronic fridges rely on sensors rather than a mechanical thermostat to judge how cold each section is. If a sensor drifts out of range or breaks, the control gets the wrong reading. The fridge may run constantly and freeze food in the fresh food section, stop cooling and let food spoil, cycle oddly, or flash a fault code on the display. Ice build-up around a sensor can also cause false readings. A resistance test with a multimeter, compared with the specification for your model, will show whether the sensor is faulty.

Replacing the fridge sensor

Turn the fridge off at the wall and move food to an esky or another fridge. Sensors usually sit behind a cover or clip inside the compartment, so note where the old one was mounted and how its lead was routed. Connect the new sensor the same way, keeping any join dry and sealed. Give the fridge several hours to settle before judging the temperature.
