• Helps prevent hotspots and uneven heating by keeping airflow pathways intact
• Restores normal venting when a cracked or broken plenum causes air leaks
• Reduces unusual air noises or vibrations caused by a damaged plenum

• One plenum-air

• Disconnect power (and gas if applicable) before beginning any service
• Remove exterior panels carefully; watch for sharp sheet-metal edges
• Verify correct orientation and fit before securing; use original fasteners where provided
• If any seals, gaskets, or mounting clips are damaged, replace them to ensure a proper seal

The Blower Motor is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool cooktops that feature a downdraft ventilation system. It is responsible for exhausting smoke, odors, and steam from your cooking area. It provides powerful and efficient ventilation, keeping your kitchen fresh and free from unwanted cooking odors.

A bad blower fan assembly can occur due to regular use, mechanical failures, or motor malfunctions. If you notice symptoms such as weak airflow, excessive noise, or the fan not working at all, it may be time to replace the blower fan assembly.

Symptoms of a bad blower fan assembly include:

• Weak airflow
• Excessive noise
• Fan not working at all

This OEM Whirlpool part can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.
 

This grease filter traps airborne grease and cooking residue from the vent airstream. Replacing a worn or clogged filter helps restore airflow, protects the blower and ducting, and reduces greasy buildup on surrounding surfaces.

• Captures grease particles before they reach the fan and ductwork
• Helps maintain proper ventilation performance
• Common symptoms of a bad filter: lingering odors, poor venting, visible saturation or damage, rattling or loose fit
• Regular replacement supports cleaner operation and effective exhaust

• Disconnect power to the hood or microwave before servicing
• Access the filter from the underside; release the latch or fastener and remove the old filter
• Install the new filter in the same orientation as the original; ensure it is fully seated and secured
• Do not operate the vent without a grease filter in place
