4055918066 Genuine Electrolux Fan Forced Oven Element 2500W Euro Long Neck Style, FE-14, Replacement Fan Oven Element

Part 4055918066 is a 2500W fan forced oven element in the European long neck style, supplied by Electrolux and also known as FE-14. It's the ring-shaped element that sits around the fan at the back of the oven cavity. Elements of this type vary in diameter, neck length and terminal layout, so measure your old one and compare it closely with the photos before ordering.

Oven not heating on fan forced

In fan forced mode the fan draws air across this element and spreads the heat evenly through the oven. When the element burns out, the fan still spins and the light still works, but the oven barely warms on fan settings while bake or grill may still heat as normal. Other signs include a tripped safety switch as soon as fan forced is selected, a visible break or blister on the element, and very long preheat times. A resistance check with a multimeter will confirm an open circuit element.

Fitting a fan forced element

Most ovens are hard-wired, so isolate the circuit at the switchboard and have a licensed electrician fit the element. With the oven cold, remove the fan cover inside the cavity, then on most ovens the terminals are reached by taking off the rear panel. Photograph the wiring before disconnecting it, swap the element, refit the fan cover and run the oven on fan forced to confirm it heats.

Questions about this part

How can I tell if this element will suit my oven?

Put it beside your old element, or its measurements. Check the overall diameter, the length of the neck that passes through the oven wall, the terminal spacing and the fixing holes, and confirm the old one is rated 2500W. If any of these differ, it won't sit correctly.
