8581260616017 Genuine Filter Bung Rim Gasket for Electrolux Group Appliances, Filter Plug Seal, Also 1260616-01/4

8581260616017 is a genuine Electrolux group gasket that seals the rim of a filter bung, the removable plug that closes off a filter housing. You may also see it numbered 1260616-01/4, or 1260616014 without the punctuation. It's a small part, but when it's flattened or split the bung can't seal and water finds its way out. The appliance and model list aren't on file, so compare your old gasket and check the parts list for your machine.

Leaking from the filter cap? The gasket may be the cause

A filter bung screws or clips into its housing so the filter can be cleaned, and the gasket around its rim is what makes that joint watertight. Every time the bung is removed the gasket is squeezed and twisted, and in time it can harden, stretch, crack or come away from its groove. The usual result is a slow drip or a puddle near the filter after a cycle, even with the bung done up tight. Lint, hair and grit trapped on the gasket can cause the same leak, so clean it and inspect it closely first.

Fitting the gasket

Switch the appliance off and unplug it, then have towels and a shallow tray ready, as water can sit behind a filter bung. Remove the bung, peel off the old gasket and clean the groove. Ease the new gasket into place without stretching it, and make sure it sits evenly all the way round. Refit the bung firmly and check for drips on the next cycle.
