Parts for Kitchenaid KXW2536YSSO: 01 - Hood Parts

The Chimney is an OEM component specifically designed for Whirlpool ventilation hoods used above cooktop ranges. It vents fumes, steam, and smoke from the cooking surface up and out of the kitchen area.  

Symptoms of a bad chimney include grease caking and blocking proper airflow. Physical damage like dents could also disrupt venting performance.

Causes of a bad chimney include:

• Reduced or inefficient venting of fumes from cooking  
• Greasy film forming on range backsplash/walls near the hood
• Physical blockages restricting maximum airflow
• Vent motor straining from obstruction resistance

It keeps indoor air fresh for brands including KitchenAid, Jenn-Air and select Broan-Noren product lines.

This interior light bulb provides bright, direct lighting so you can clearly see food and settings inside your appliance. It replaces a burned-out or cracked interior lamp to restore visibility and safe use. What it does:

• Illuminates the appliance interior for cooking, loading, and inspection
• Replaces bulbs that are cracked, dark, flickering, or no longer working
• Helps you monitor food without opening the door frequently
• Fits the appliance's original lamp socket and housing when used as a direct replacement

• Disconnect power or unplug the appliance before replacing the bulb
• Allow the old bulb to cool completely before handling
• Use a clean cloth or gloves to handle the new bulb; avoid touching the glass with bare hands if the bulb type specifies
• Match this part number to your appliance label or parts diagram to ensure correct fit; dispose of old bulbs according to local regulations

The Grease Filter is an OEM part for Whirlpool range hoods. This part traps grease particles from the air as it circulates through the range hood, preventing grease buildup on the blower and other internal components, thus maintaining the efficiency and longevity of the range hood.

Causes of a bad grease filter can include clogging from excessive grease accumulation, physical damage from improper cleaning or handling, and general wear and tear over time.

Symptoms of a bad grease filter include:

• Reduced air flow from the range hood
• Visible grease buildup on or around the filter
• Unusual odors persisting in the kitchen
• Filter appearing worn or damaged

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

This motor run capacitor helps the appliance motor start and run more smoothly, restoring proper motor performance and reducing hum or startup problems. It's a direct-replacement electrical component used in compatible Whirlpool appliances. What it does:

• Provides the phase-shifted current the motor needs to start and maintain normal operation
• Helps reduce motor humming, slow starts, or intermittent motor stalls
• Restores proper motor torque and efficiency when the original capacitor has failed
• Works as the electrical timing/storing component for motor cycles

• One motor run capacitor

• Disconnect power to the appliance before attempting replacement to avoid electrical shock
• Discharge the capacitor before touching terminals; use insulated tools and follow safe procedures
• Match terminal configuration and mounting to the original part

This pushbutton switch replaces a worn or broken control button so your appliance's front-panel function responds reliably. It restores tactile push-button control for start, cycle selection or other front-panel operations. What it does:

• Sends the electrical signal when a front-panel button is pressed so the selected function starts
• Restores responsive push action when the original button is stuck, loose, or unresponsive
• Helps fix intermittent or no-response symptoms from a damaged or corroded control button
• Fits into the control panel and connects to existing wiring or harness terminals

• Disconnect power before beginning any repair
• Access the control panel per your model's service instructions; this part typically secures with snap clips or a retaining screw
• Transfer any button cap, bezel, or wiring harness carefully; confirm terminal alignment before reassembly
• Test the control function with power restored before fully reassembling the panel

This fan motor is the rotating blower assembly that moves air through the appliance to support cooling, ventilation and proper operation. Replacing a worn motor restores airflow and helps maintain temperature control and performance. What it does:

• Drives the blower wheel to circulate air through the appliance cabinet and vents
• Restores airflow when the motor has failed or stalled
• Stops or reduces abnormal noise when the original motor bearings are worn
• Helps prevent overheating by maintaining proper ventilation

• Disconnect power before attempting any service to avoid shock or injury
• Handle the motor and blower wheel carefully to avoid damaging blades or connectors
• Verify wiring connections and mounting orientation match the original part before powering on

This replacement hood light bulb restores bright illumination over your cooktop so you can see while cooking and cleaning. Install a new bulb when the hood light is out, dim, or damaged to keep your range hood working as intended.

• Provides task lighting for the cooking surface when the hood light is switched on
• Replace if the light won't turn on, flickers, or the bulb glass is darkened/cracked
• Restores visibility for safer meal prep and cleanup
• Installs in the lamp socket specified for your model; match the bulb type and rating in your owner's manual

• Disconnect power to the hood at the breaker and allow the bulb/area to cool fully
• Remove the lens or retainer per your model, then remove the old bulb
• Handle the new bulb with a clean cloth or gloves; avoid touching the glass
• Install without overtightening and do not exceed the bulb type/wattage specified for your hood

A duct kit designed to route a dryer's exhaust safely to the household vent system, restoring proper airflow and helping the dryer vent effectively when the original ducting is damaged or missing. What it does:

• Channels hot, lint-laden exhaust from the dryer to the exterior vent to reduce indoor heat and moisture.
• Replaces crushed, torn or disconnected ducting that can cause poor drying performance.
• Use when you notice longer dry times, excess heat or lint buildup near the dryer, or backdrafting from the vent.
• Helps maintain proper vent airflow when installed and secured per manufacturer and local code requirements.

• Disconnect electrical power (and gas supply for gas dryers) before installing or servicing venting components.
• Follow the appliance manufacturer's installation instructions and local building/venting codes for diameter, length and material.
• Avoid crushing, kinking or sharp bends in the duct; secure joints with approved clamps or foil tape and check for leaks.

This filter traps cooking grease and airborne particles as air moves through your appliance's ventilation system. It helps protect the blower and internal surfaces and supports proper airflow for effective venting during everyday cooking.

• Captures grease and debris from cooking vapors to reduce buildup on internal components
• Helps maintain ventilation airflow and fan performance
• Replace if the mesh is torn, warped, heavily clogged, or no longer stays seated
• Common symptoms include reduced airflow, lingering smoke or odors, and visible grease accumulation

• Disconnect power and allow surfaces to cool before servicing
• Access the filter from the underside of the hood or over-the-range unit
• Release retaining tabs or screws, remove the old filter, and slide the new filter into place
• Ensure the filter is fully seated and secured before restoring power
