Parts for Whirlpool GXW6536DXS2: 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 hood damper mounts at the exhaust outlet to let cooking air exit while blocking backdrafts when the fan is off. Replacing a worn damper restores proper airflow and helps eliminate rattling or sticking during vent operation.

• Controls one-way airflow from the hood into the duct; seals when the fan is off
• Helps block outside air and moisture from entering through the vent
• Wear or damage can cause poor venting, rattling noises, or a stuck exterior flap
• Restores vent performance after the original damper is bent, warped, or missing

• Disconnect power at the breaker before servicing
• Access the exhaust outlet and remove the old damper; note airflow orientation
• Install so the flap swings freely and seats closed; avoid overtightening fasteners
• Run the fan to verify smooth damper movement and proper airflow

This replacement light bulb restores illumination inside your appliance so you can clearly see contents and check progress at a glance. A fresh bulb improves visibility, safety, and everyday usability.

• Provides bright, reliable light where installed in the appliance
• Common symptoms: no light, dim or flickering light, intermittent lighting
• Physical clues of failure: dark/burned-out filament, broken glass, or loose/corroded base
• Replacing a failed bulb helps confirm whether the issue is the bulb versus the socket or switch

• Unplug the appliance or disconnect power before replacing the bulb
• Allow the old bulb and surrounding area to cool before handling
• Use clean, dry hands or gloves; avoid touching the glass with bare fingers
• Replace only with the same type and wattage specified by the manufacturer

This inner oven door glass replaces a cracked or cloudy oven door panel so you can see food clearly and restore the door's insulation and appearance. It fits the oven door assembly and helps maintain heat containment. What it does:

• Replaces a damaged or cracked inner oven door glass panel
• Restores clear viewing of the cooking cavity for safe monitoring of food
• Helps maintain proper heat containment and overall door integrity
• Prevents drafts and reduces heat loss caused by broken or missing glass

• Handle with care; glass edges may be sharp and can break if dropped
• Disconnect power to the appliance before removing the oven door for service
• Follow the oven manufacturer's door-disassembly instructions; some doors require hinge release and clip removal
• If sealing or insulation is damaged, replace those parts as directed by the manufacturer

This inner oven door glass provides the viewing surface and protective barrier between the oven cavity and exterior door. It restores a clear viewing window and helps keep heat and cooking messes contained for safe, efficient use. What it does:

• Replaces cracked, chipped or fogged inner oven door glass to restore visibility.
• Protects the oven door interior and insulation from spills and heat damage.
• Helps maintain a proper barrier between the cooking cavity and the kitchen environment.
• Useful when the glass is visibly damaged, loose, or causing steam/fogging between panes.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any repair.
• Handle glass with heavy gloves and eye protection; place on a soft, stable surface.
• Many installations require removing the oven door and separating door panels—refer to the service manual or diagram for your model.

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 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

Color: Grey

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
