4055941324 Genuine Aluminium Grease Filter 86cm for Electrolux Group Rangehoods, Metal Rangehood Filter Replacement

4055941324 is a genuine Electrolux aluminium filter, 86cm in size, for rangehoods. Aluminium filters catch grease from cooking before it reaches the fan and ducting, and filters of this type are generally washable. Electrolux group rangehoods use several filter sizes, so measure your old filter and check the part number on your rangehood's parts list before ordering.

Rangehood not pulling smoke? A grease filter could be the issue

Grease filters are the first line of defence in a rangehood. They trap fat and oil droplets from cooking steam, protecting the motor and keeping grease out of the duct. A clogged filter restricts airflow, so the rangehood gets louder but clears less smoke and steam. Filters that are bent, torn or warped from years of washing let grease straight through, coating the fan and creating a fire risk. Regular cleaning keeps a filter working, but once the frame or filter layers are damaged, a new filter is the fix.

Swapping the rangehood filter

Turn the rangehood off and let it cool if you've been cooking. Release the catch on the old filter, support it as it drops down and slide it out. Check the size and catch position match, then fit the new filter the same way round as the old one so it locks in. Run the fan to check it sits flat without rattling.
