4055937868 Genuine Door Air Vent for Electrolux Group Electric Ovens, Replacement Oven Door Vent

Genuine Electrolux part 4055937868 is a door air vent for electric models, as opposed to gas versions of the same appliance. It suits Electrolux group ovens where the vent on the door has cracked, discoloured or gone missing. Since the listing separates it as the electric version, check that your oven is electric and compare the shape of the vent before ordering 4055937868.

What the oven door air vent does

Most modern ovens move air through and around the door so the outer glass and handle stay cooler and moisture can escape. The door air vent is part of that path. If it's broken or missing, you may notice the door or handle getting hotter than usual, condensation forming between the glass panes, or steam escaping in the wrong place. A cracked vent can also let crumbs and grease into the door cavity, where they're hard to clean. Fitting the correct vent restores the intended airflow and the finished look of the door.

Fitting the door vent

Turn the oven off at the isolator and let it cool completely. Door vents are usually clipped or screwed to the top or bottom edge of the door, and some can only be reached once the door is lifted off its hinges. Photograph the order of any glass panels or spacers you take out. Fit the new vent, refit the door and check that it closes evenly.
