Parts for Whirlpool UXT5530AAB0: 01 - Hood Parts

A replacement hood damper assembly that opens and closes the vent opening to help direct exhaust airflow and reduce backdrafts when the range hood or microwave fan is off. Restores proper vent operation and helps control odors and smoke. What it does:

• Opens to allow exhaust air to escape when the hood fan runs
• Closes to block outside air and reduce backdrafts when the fan is off
• Helps improve ventilation performance and reduces kitchen odors and smoke build-up
• Commonly replaced when the damper is stuck, bent, or noisy

• One hood damper assembly

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any repair
• Access typically requires removing the hood or microwave bottom panel; support the unit if needed
• Verify damper orientation and secure mounting fasteners; test operation before reassembly

Bulb only - Socket must be ordered separately

This socket is an electrical wire terminal that provides a secure connection between wiring and a compatible appliance component, helping restore reliable power transfer and prevent loose or intermittent connections. What it does:

• Accepts and holds a mating terminal to complete an electrical circuit
• Restores a secure wire-to-component connection when the original socket is damaged or worn
• Helps stop intermittent power, sparking, or heating at a loose connection
• Used where a durable, removable terminal interface is required

• One socket terminal (single piece)

• Turn off and disconnect power to the appliance before servicing
• Inspect mating terminals and wiring; replace any damaged wires or connectors
• Push the mating terminal fully into the socket until it locks; ensure proper orientation

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
