General Electric Wall Oven Damper & Related

This oven exhaust duct channels hot air and cooking fumes out of the oven cavity to the range venting system, helping maintain proper oven temperature and reduce smoke or odors. Replace a damaged or corroded duct to restore correct venting. What it does:

• Directs hot air and combustion/steam fumes from the oven cavity into the vent ductwork
• Helps maintain consistent oven temperature by providing a clear exhaust path
• Can reduce smoke, burning smells, or poor broil performance when functioning properly
• Prevents loose metal or debris from obstructing the vent path

• One oven exhaust duct

• Disconnect power to the range (and gas supply if applicable) before beginning work
• Access typically requires removing the oven back panel or range back; keep fasteners for reinstallation
• Watch for sharp sheet-metal edges and wear gloves and eye protection
• Reinstall panels and secure all fasteners; test oven operation and venting after replacement
