4055563854 Genuine Upper Evaporator Cover Assembly for Electrolux Group Fridges and Freezers, Evaporator Panel

The evaporator cover hides the cooling coil and helps guide cold air through the cabinet. Part 4055563854 is the genuine Electrolux upper evaporator cover assembly for Electrolux group fridges and freezers. Covers crack when ice builds up behind them or when they're forced out during a defrost repair. Evaporator covers are shaped to suit each cabinet, so compare the outline and vents with your existing cover, or send your model number through the parts enquiry form before ordering.

Fridge evaporator cover cracked or iced up?

In a frost free fridge, the evaporator coil sits behind a panel, often at the back of the freezer. The cover separates the coil from the food space and forms part of the air path, so the fan can push cold air through the vents to where it's needed. If the cover is cracked or missing pieces, air leaks past the vents, ice can build up in odd places, and the fridge section may run warm while the freezer seems fine. A broken cover can also let the fan blade catch on loose plastic, causing a ticking noise.

Fitting the evaporator cover

Unplug the fridge and move food to an esky or another fridge. If there's ice behind the old cover, let it thaw naturally with the doors open rather than chipping at it, which can puncture the coil. Remove the screws and the old cover, transfer any foam seals or sensors that aren't part of the new assembly, and fit the new cover so it sits flush.
