This is a motor fan assembly manufactured by Whirlpool to replace a broken or faulty fan in range hoods. This motor fan assembly removes odors and grease caused by cooking. A working range hood is important, and without the motor fan assembly, the range will not be able to work properly, if at all. Over time, the motor fan assembly can become worn, corroded, or clogged by grease, causing it to break or start to malfunction. If this occurs, the part should be replaced immediately. To prevent injury, always wear work gloves and disconnect the range hood from power sources. This is a genuine OEM part that has been sourced directly from the manufacturer. This motor fan assembly is sold individually and manufactured from durable materials. It is compatible with range hood models manufactured by various brands, including Whirlpool, Maytag, Kitchenaid, and Magic Chef.

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

The Light Cover is an OEM part for Whirlpool range hoods. The light cover protects the internal light bulbs while allowing brightness to illuminate the cooktop below. It helps prevent grease, smoke, and kitchen pollutants from damaging electrical components.

Causes of a bad light cover can include damage from heat and grease in the range hood environment over extended use. Material breakdown from cleaning chemicals is also common.

Symptoms of a bad light cover include:

• Dim or uneven hood lighting that does not adequately illuminate the cooking surface
• Discoloration or stains on the light cover material
• Cracks or breaks that expose light bulbs
• Premature bulb burnout from lack of protection

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