Ge WB06X10436 Microwave Hood Damper Assembly OEM Part

We followed the manufacturer's instructions about re-positioning the fan motor and installing the vent damper (easy). We constructed a duct system from the microwave to the outside of the house (challenging). We used 3.25" x 10" metal duct to start the system through the wall behind the microwave, where we added framing to reinforce a cut stud. We ran the duct up a closet wall and through its ceiling into the attic. We had to make an offset duct piece from 3.25" x 10" metal duct to clear a ceiling joist. To align parts in the attic, we transitioned to 7" round duct and back to 3.25" x 10" duct at the rectangular wall cap through the side of the house. We modified duct joints as necessary and slanted the horizontal ducts downward toward the wall cap so any condensation would run out of the wall cap rather than accumulating or dripping onto ceilings. We installed metal straps to support the ducts and secured all duct joints with sheet metal screws and metal duct tape. We may add duct insulation wrap to exposed ducts.

I bought a GE Microwave from someone to replace unit that had gone bad. Repair was easy; 1st I removed to screws at top and flipped motor assembly so blowers were facing up, then I slid hood damper assembly in at top, then reinstalled microwave and now when I press the vent button, the exhaust goes outside thru duct work. Very East!!

First we took the siding off the house, then we took the boards off that were underneath the siding, then we took the siding that was underneath the boards that were underneath the siding, then we took the boards off that were underneath the siding that were underneath the boards that were underneath the siding, then we took off the boards that were underneath the boards that were underneath the siding that were underneath the boards that were underneath the siding. Second, were replaced the studs, added insulation and OSB board, cut a hole in the OSB added an outdoor vent, pulled out the microwave, slide the damper assembly, put the microwave back up, wrapped the back wall in house wrap, added insulation board and put the siding back on. :)
