4055820023 Genuine Charcoal Filter for Electrolux Group Rangehoods, Recirculating Carbon Odour Filter

Part 4055820023 is a genuine Electrolux charcoal filter for rangehoods in the Electrolux group. Charcoal filters are used when a rangehood recirculates air back into the kitchen instead of ducting it outside, soaking up cooking odours as the air passes through. Size and model details aren't on file for this number, so match the part number or the shape and size of your old filter before ordering.

Cooking smells hanging around after the fan runs?

In recirculating mode, the grease filter catches fat first, then the charcoal filter absorbs smells before the air returns to the room. Activated charcoal works by trapping odour molecules in its pores, and once those pores are full it stops working. Unlike metal grease filters, standard charcoal filters can't be washed, so they need regular replacement. Signs it's time include cooking smells lingering long after the fan has been on, a stale smell when the rangehood starts, and weaker airflow. How often depends on how much you cook, so follow the interval in your rangehood manual.

• Charcoal (carbon) odour filter
• For Electrolux group rangehoods running in recirculating mode

Changing the charcoal filter

Switch the rangehood off and remove the metal grease filters to reach the charcoal filter behind them. Note how the old filter clips, twists or slides into place, then fit the new one the same way so it seals with no gaps. Refit the grease filters and run the fan to check for rattles. Jot down the date so you know when it's due again.

Questions about this part

Do I need a charcoal filter if my rangehood is ducted outside?

No. A ducted rangehood sends air outside, so it only needs grease filters. Charcoal filters are for rangehoods that recirculate air back into the kitchen. Check how yours is installed before ordering.
