Having the harness attached means the fuse comes ready to connect, without splicing a bare fuse into old wiring. Electrolux has used more than one thermal fuse and harness across its fridge ranges, so confirm 50296426005 on the parts list for your model and product number before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFridge icing up and warm? Check the thermal fuse\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn a frost free fridge, a thermal fuse usually sits in the defrost circuit near the evaporator. It's a one-time safety device. If the defrost heater runs too hot, the fuse opens and cuts power to the heater for good. Once it has blown, the fridge can no longer defrost itself. Ice builds up over the evaporator coil, airflow is blocked and the fresh food section slowly gets warmer, often while the freezer still feels cold. A blown fuse can point to another fault, such as a defrost thermostat or control that didn't switch the heater off, so check those while you're in there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePart details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenuine Electrolux part 50296426005\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThermal fuse with wiring harness attached\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor Electrolux group fridges and freezers that list this number\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne-shot safety fuse, replaced rather than reset\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eReplacing the thermal fuse\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSwitch the fridge off at the wall and pull the plug. Move the food into an esky, as the evaporator cover usually has to come off and any ice needs to melt first. Never chip ice away with a sharp tool near the coil. Note how the harness is routed and clipped, connect the new one the same way, and check the defrost heater and thermostat before reassembling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eQuestions about this part\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I just bypass a blown thermal fuse?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. The fuse is there to stop the defrost heater overheating, and bypassing it removes that protection. Replace it with the correct part, and find out why it blew, since a faulty defrost thermostat or control can cause it to fail again.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Electrolux","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44549066195022,"sku":"50296426005","price":37.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/partsshop.com.au\/products\/50296426005-genuine-electrolux-thermal-fuse-and-wiring-harness","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
