4055897955 Genuine Replacement Evaporator Assembly with Capillary Tube for Electrolux Group Refrigeration, Sealed System Repair

Genuine Electrolux part 4055897955 is a replacement evaporator supplied as an assembly with the capillary tube. It suits Electrolux group refrigeration, although no specific models are recorded against it. Take note that this evaporator may be larger than the one fitted in the factory. If so, the installer needs to follow the fitting guidance for this part, so ask us for it before work starts. Fitting must be done by a licensed refrigeration technician.

Signs the evaporator has failed

The evaporator is where the cold is made. Refrigerant fed through the capillary tube boils inside its passages and pulls heat out of the cabinet air. Once it develops a leak, the system slowly loses its charge. Typical signs are a cabinet that never gets cold enough, a compressor that seems to run all day, partial or patchy frost on the cooling surface, and oily marks around a joint. Physical damage from ice picks or sharp tools is a common cause of leaks. Restrictions in the capillary tube can produce much the same symptoms.

Installing the evaporator

Turn the appliance off at the wall and unload it before your technician starts. The refrigerant has to be recovered, the old evaporator cut out and the new assembly brazed in, then the system is evacuated and recharged. That work needs an Australian refrigerant handling licence. Compare the size with the old unit first, since this replacement may need a different mounting position.

Questions about this part

This part can be larger than the original. In that case the technician should follow the fitting guidance for 4055897955 rather than mounting it in the same spot. Ask through the parts enquiry form and we will pass on the details before installation.
