Customer Questions and Answers for Filter by Whirlpool

The Filter is an OEM part for Whirlpool ranges. Installed at the base of the downdraft vent opening, this filter works to capture grease, smoke and odor particles emitted during cooking.

Causes of a bad filter can include natural saturation over many uses as it accumulates grease residue. Extremely high-heat or splattering cooking methods may also accelerate the clogging process.

Symptoms of an inefficient range downdraft filter include:

• Grease residue visible below the vent opening or on surrounding cabinetry
• Reduced effectiveness at extracting smoke, odors or steam from cooking surfaces
• Vent motor or fan starting to strain or make louder noises during use

This genuine OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
