4055917852 Genuine Electrolux Universal Euro Fan Forced Oven Element 2500W 3 Turn for European Style Ovens

This 2500W fan forced element, part 4055917852, is a universal Euro pattern sold as a genuine Electrolux spare. It has a three turn coil and sits behind the fan cover at the back of the oven, where the ring wraps around the fan. Since it isn't made for one particular brand, line up the ring diameter, terminal spacing and mounting holes with the element you're replacing before you order.

Is the fan element why your oven won't heat?

In fan forced mode, the rear fan pushes air over this element and spreads the heat evenly from shelf to shelf. A broken element shows up in a few ways. The oven may stay cool on fan forced while the grill still works, take far longer than usual to preheat, or trip the safety switch when the fan setting is chosen. Burnt or blistered spots on the sheath are a giveaway, and a continuity reading across the terminals will confirm an open circuit. Check the fan spins freely too, since a seized fan motor causes its own heating problems.

Fitting a 2500W fan element

Turn the oven off at the switchboard before you start, and call a licensed electrician for a hard-wired unit. Remove the shelves and the fan guard at the back of the cavity. Take a photo of the terminal connections before removing the old element, then mount the new ring, reconnect and refit the guard. Run the oven on fan forced for a few minutes to confirm it heats.

Questions about this part

Can I fit a 2500W element in place of a lower wattage one?

Stick with the wattage your oven was designed for. The wiring, thermostat and safety cutouts are matched to the factory element, so check the rating stamped on your old element or the parts list first.
