4055917720 Genuine Fan Forced Oven Element 1800W 2 Turn Coil for Electrolux Group Ovens, Rear Fan Ring Element

Part 4055917720 is a genuine Electrolux 1800W fan forced oven element with a two turn coil. It is the ring shaped element that wraps around the convection fan at the back of the oven, out of sight behind the fan cover. Electrolux group ovens use a number of fan elements with different wattages and coil styles, so compare the rating and shape of your old element before ordering 4055917720.

Fan bake not heating? Check the fan forced element

With fan forced cooking selected, the fan draws air across this element and circulates it through the cavity for even heat on every shelf. If the element fails the fan keeps turning and the light stays on, but the oven barely warms or never reaches the set temperature in fan mode, even though the top and bottom elements still work. A safety switch that trips as soon as fan bake is chosen, a split or bubbled section on the coil, or a burning smell are other clues. A resistance test across the terminals with a multimeter confirms an open circuit.

Part details

• Genuine Electrolux part number 4055917720
• Rated at 1800W
• Two turn coil design
• Mounts behind the rear fan cover

Replacing the fan element

Cut the power at the isolator or switchboard first. Pull out the racks and remove the rear fan cover to reach the element screws. The wiring terminals sit at the back of the oven, so a built-in unit usually has to slide out of its cabinet. Snap a photo of the connections before removing them. Hard-wired ovens should be reconnected by a licensed electrician.
