4056021332 Genuine Carbon Air Filter for Electrolux Group Appliances, Replacement Carbon Odour Filter

Genuine Electrolux carbon air filter 4056021332 is designed to absorb odours from the air passing through it. Electrolux doesn't name the appliance in the description, and a second carbon air filter with the same wording sits under 4056021340, so check the number on your old filter carefully. Carbon filters in the Electrolux group are most often found in recirculating rangehoods, but other appliances use them too.

How a carbon air filter works and when to change it

Carbon filters contain carbon with a huge internal surface area. As air passes through, odour molecules stick to the carbon and are held there. Unlike metal grease filters, carbon filters can't be cleaned back to new, because once the carbon is saturated it stops absorbing. You'll know a filter is spent when cooking smells or other odours linger, the air coming out smells stale, or the filter has reached the replacement interval given in your user manual.

Replacing the carbon filter

Turn the appliance off at the wall before opening any covers. Check how the old filter is held, whether by twist-lock, clips or a frame, and note its position. Fit the new filter the same way and make sure it's seated so air can't slip around it. Write the date on the filter or in your manual so you know when it's next due.
