4055903498 Genuine Thermostat Sensor, Electrolux Group Spare Part for Temperature Control

Part 4055903498 is a genuine Electrolux thermostat sensor, the component that measures temperature so the controls know when to switch the cooling on and off. It replaces a sensor that has failed, been damaged or is giving false readings. The listing doesn't name the appliance or models, so order it by matching the part number on your old sensor, a parts list or a service report.

How a thermostat sensor fails and what you'll notice

A thermostat sensor sits in the airflow or against a surface inside the cabinet and turns temperature into a signal the control can act on. If it drifts out of calibration or breaks internally, the control is working from wrong information. The cabinet may run too cold and freeze its contents, run too warm, cycle on and off far too often, or show an error or odd temperature reading on the display. Damaged leads, corroded plugs and ice build-up around the sensor can cause the same symptoms, so inspect the wiring before swapping the part.

Fitting the thermostat sensor

Unplug the appliance before removing any covers. Note exactly where the old sensor is clipped and how its lead is routed, since the sensor's position decides what temperature it reads. Fit the new sensor in the same spot, secure the lead away from fans and sharp edges, and reconnect the plug firmly. Power up and allow several hours for the temperature to settle before checking it.
