Kit 858407140590, also numbered 40714059, is a genuine Electrolux group conversion kit for a dual thermostat set-up. Conversion kits are supplied when an original part has been changed by the maker, bringing together what's needed so a current thermostat can take the place of the old arrangement.

Signs of a failed appliance thermostat

A thermostat switches heating on and off to hold a set temperature, and a dual thermostat does this at two set points or for two circuits. When one fails, the appliance may not heat at all, heat on one setting but not the other, run far too hot, or trip a safety cut-out. Burnt terminals, a stuck contact or a loss of calibration are the usual causes. Where the exact original is no longer made, a conversion kit is the manufacturer's way of getting the appliance working again.

Fitting the conversion kit

Isolate power before starting, and have a licensed electrician or qualified technician do the work, as a conversion may involve rewiring. Photograph the existing thermostat wiring and mounting before removing anything. Follow any instructions supplied in the kit, check all connections are tight, and test every heat setting before closing up.

Questions about this part

Why do I need a conversion kit instead of a straight thermostat?

When the original thermostat is no longer made, the replacement may mount or connect differently. A conversion kit supplies what is needed to fit the newer design. Send us your model number and we'll confirm this kit is the right path.
