4055890208 Genuine Terminal Board Assembly for Electrolux Group Appliances, Wiring Terminal Block 17222000013648

Electrolux part 4055890208 is a genuine terminal board assembly, also linked to the number 17222000013648. A terminal board is the block where wiring is joined, usually where the power supply or connecting cables land inside an appliance. A scorched, cracked or loose terminal board is a fault to deal with promptly. Confirm 4055890208 in your model's parts list before ordering, as terminal boards vary between models.

Signs of a failed terminal board

Every connection on a terminal board carries current, so a loose screw or corroded contact creates resistance and heat. Over time that can discolour or melt the plastic, char the wire ends and eventually break the circuit altogether. Typical signs are an appliance that cuts in and out, trips the safety switch, smells of hot plastic, or won't power up at all, along with visible scorch marks once the cover comes off. Moisture, insects and vibration can all play a part.

Safety first with terminal boards

This is mains wiring work. Isolate the appliance at the switchboard, test that it's dead, and have a licensed electrician fit the new board. Photograph and label every wire before disconnecting it, cut back any heat damaged cable ends, and tighten each terminal firmly so nothing can work loose. Refit any cover and cable clamp before power is restored.

Questions about this part

Can I just tighten the old terminals instead?

If the board shows any scorching, melting or cracking, it should be replaced, as heat damaged plastic doesn't hold connections reliably. A licensed electrician can check the board and cable ends and decide whether 4055890208 is needed.
