The Chimney is an OEM component specifically designed for Whirlpool downdraft 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 can be long-term residue buildup from cooking emissions, as well as potential impact incidents diminishing vent structure integrity.

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

Replacing with this authentic OEM chimney restores effective capture and removal of cooking byproducts. It keeps indoor air fresh for brands including KitchenAid, Jenn-Air and select Broan-Noren product lines.

• 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
