4055643706 Genuine Fridge Thermostat for Electrolux Group Refrigerators and Freezers, Also Numbered 890052080

Electrolux part 4055643706 is a genuine thermostat for Electrolux group fridges, cross referenced to Electrolux number 890052080. If your old thermostat or parts list shows 890052080, that's the number to match this listing against. The thermostat controls when the compressor runs to keep the cabinet at the temperature you set. We don't have a model list for it, so send your fridge's model and serial number through the parts enquiry form if you'd like it checked.

Symptoms of a faulty fridge thermostat

A thermostat that has failed tends to show up in one of two ways. If it won't close, the compressor never starts, the cabinet warms up and the fridge stays quiet even though the internal light works. If it won't open, the compressor runs constantly, food in the fridge freezes and frost builds up quickly. Intermittent faults, where the fridge swings between too warm and too cold, are also common. On a mechanical thermostat, turning the dial from warmest to coldest should give a click and start the compressor, which is a quick check.

Fitting the new thermostat

Unplug the fridge before removing the control housing. Take a photo of the wiring, and of the way any sensing tube is routed and clipped. Fit the new thermostat with every wire on the same terminal and the sensing tube in exactly the old position, as a tube out of place makes the fridge run too warm or too cold. Allow several hours for the temperature to settle.
