4055566220 Genuine Timer Switch with Multiple Socket Connection for Electrolux Group Appliances

Here's a genuine Electrolux timer switch, part number 4055566220, described in the stock system as a multiple socket type. A timer switch turns circuits on and off in a set sequence or after a set time, depending on the appliance it controls. The appliance this one belongs to isn't recorded against the number, so read the code on your existing timer, or find 4055566220 in your model's parts list, before you buy.

Common signs of a faulty appliance timer

Inside a timer switch, a motor or electronic circuit steps a set of contacts through their positions as time passes. Wear on those contacts, a failed timer motor or heat damage can leave the appliance stuck at one point in its cycle, running without stopping, or doing nothing at all when the timer is set. A knob that turns freely without the usual clicks, a cycle that skips steps, or scorch marks around the terminals all point toward the timer. Testing with the wiring diagram and a multimeter confirms it before you spend money.

Swapping the timer
