In laundry appliances, the main motor is what drives the drum, so it's a major part and the fit needs to be exact. Motors differ in mounting, pulley or drive style, connector and power, and there's no model list on file for this one. Send us your model and product number from the rating plate before ordering and we'll confirm it suits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDrum not turning? Signs the main motor has failed\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe main motor turns the drum, either through a belt and pulley or directly. When it fails, the machine may light up and count down normally while the drum never moves, or it may hum, smell of burning, trip the power or stop partway through a cycle. Before blaming the motor, check the simpler causes: a broken or slipped belt, a jammed drum, worn carbon brushes on brush-type motors, or a fault in the motor control board. A technician can test the windings to confirm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePart details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenuine Electrolux group part 4055838751\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMain drive motor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor Electrolux group laundry appliances\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eReplacing a main motor\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnplug the appliance, and turn off the taps if it's a washer. Motors are heavy and usually need the cabinet opened from the back or front, so have help on hand. Photograph the wiring plug, belt routing and mounting before removing anything. This is a job for a confident DIYer or an appliance technician, and a test run with a light load will confirm the fix.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eQuestions about this part\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I know the motor is the problem?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf the drum won't turn, first check that the belt is intact and the drum spins freely by hand. A technician can then test the motor windings and brushes. Replacing the motor only makes sense once those checks point to it, as control board faults can look similar.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Electrolux","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44550303842382,"sku":"4055838751","price":189.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/partsshop.com.au\/products\/4055838751-genuine-electrolux-main-motor","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
