Parts for Ge CVM721M2N1S5: Door Parts

The Charcoal Filter is an OEM part for GE microwave ovens. This component is crucial for absorbing odors and filtering out grease and other contaminants from the air circulated by the microwave's exhaust system. By maintaining a cleaner airflow, the charcoal filter ensures that your microwave remains efficient and free from odors that can affect the taste and smell of your food. The filter measures about 10 inches wide by 2-1/2 inches high.

Causes of a bad charcoal filter include saturation with grease or odors over time, which reduces its efficacy. Additionally, accidental damage or prolonged use without replacement can impair its ability to filter air effectively.

Symptoms of a bad charcoal filter include:

• Persistent odors even after cooking has completed
• Visible grease buildup on the filter
•  Reduced efficiency in air recirculation

This GE replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.
