4055727830 Genuine Inlet Hose Filter Washer for Electrolux Group Washing Machines, Black/Red Rubber Hose Washer

Part 4055727830 is a genuine Electrolux rubber filter washer for washing machine inlet hoses, listed in black/red. It sits inside the hose coupling, sealing the joint against the tap or valve while filtering the incoming water. These washers are small and inexpensive, but a missing or perished one is a common cause of leaks after a machine has been moved or reconnected.

Washing machine hose leaking or filling slowly

Every time the machine fills, mains pressure pushes water through the inlet hose coupling. The filter washer does two jobs there. Its rubber body seals the threaded joint so water cannot spray or drip from the tap, and its filter catches sand, rust flakes and other debris before they reach the inlet valve. A hardened or split washer causes drips at the tap or a puddle behind the machine. A clogged filter slows filling, can bring up a water supply fault code and makes wash and rinse cycles run long.

Replacing the hose filter washer

Turn the tap off and switch the machine off at the wall before you undo the hose. Unscrew the coupling, have a towel ready for trapped water and pull the old washer out with your fingers or a small flat screwdriver. Push the new washer in flat and fully seated, then refit the hose firmly by hand. Turn the tap on slowly and check for drips.

Questions about this part

Can I reuse an old filter washer?

It is not worth the risk. Once the rubber has been compressed for a long time it rarely seals as well again. Fitting a fresh washer whenever the hose is disconnected is a cheap way to avoid leaks and water damage.
