8588119084065 Genuine Aluminium Tape 80 x 535mm for Electrolux Group Fridges, Pre-Cut Fridge Foil Tape

This genuine Electrolux group aluminium tape, part 8588119084065, measures 80 x 535mm and is used in Electrolux group fridge repairs. Aluminium tape conducts heat well and seals out moisture, so fridges use it to fix heater wires, sensors and tubing against panels and to cover openings. A piece cut to this size saves you joining smaller strips, which can lift at the joins.

Where aluminium tape is used in a fridge

Inside a fridge, aluminium tape does several quiet jobs. It holds defrost heater wires and drain heaters against the evaporator or drain trough so heat spreads evenly, fixes temperature sensors to the surface they measure, and seals foam and tubing joints against moisture. When the tape lifts or tears during a repair, a heater can sit away from where it is needed, leading to ice build up, a blocked drain and water leaking into the crisper. Sensors that come loose can also give the controls wrong readings.

Getting a good bond

Turn the fridge off at the wall and let any ice melt fully before taping. Clean the surface with a dry cloth so it is free of water, grease and frost. Peel the backing gradually and smooth the tape down from the centre outwards, pressing out air bubbles. Make sure heater wires or sensors sit flat underneath before you seal over them.

Questions about this part

Can I use hardware store foil tape instead?

General foil tapes vary in adhesive and thickness, and some lose grip in the cold or near defrost heat. This genuine tape is cut to 80 x 535mm for Electrolux group fridges, so it suits the job it was specified for.
