5550165202 Genuine Round Heating Element 240V 1650W for Electrolux Group Ovens, Fan Forced Ring Element Replacement

This genuine Electrolux round heating element, part 5550165202, is rated 240V and 1650W. A round element like this sits around an oven's rear fan, heating the air that the fan pushes through the cavity during fan cooking. We don't have a model list on file for it, so check the number stamped on your old element or the parts list for your oven's model before ordering.

Oven fan running but no heat on fan bake?

When the fan element fails, the fan still spins and the light still works, but the oven heats slowly or not at all on fan modes. Other functions that use the top or bottom elements may still work, which is a strong clue. Elements usually fail by breaking internally, and you may see a blister, split or burnt spot on the sheath. A failed element can also trip the safety switch the moment the oven turns on. A quick resistance check with a multimeter will confirm whether the element is open circuit.

Replacing the round element

Switch the oven off at its isolating switch or circuit breaker. Most built-in ovens are hard-wired, so electrical work on them should be done by a licensed electrician. On most ovens the round element sits behind the rear fan cover inside the cavity. Remove the cover and element screws, draw the element forward, note the wiring and swap it over. Check it reads around 35 ohms before refitting the cover.

Questions about this part

How do I test my old element?

Disconnect it and measure across the two terminals with a multimeter. Based on its 240V, 1650W rating, a healthy element should read roughly 35 ohms. No reading means the element is open circuit and has failed.
