• Replace with the exact part number; match to the appliance wiring and mounting.
• Observe proper wiring, polarity, and secure connections; do not work on wet surfaces.

This fan motor circulates air inside the appliance to maintain even temperatures and proper airflow, helping the unit run efficiently and protect stored items from uneven cooling or overheating. What it does:

• Drives the fan blade to move air through the appliance for consistent temperature distribution
• Restores airflow when the original motor has failed or become intermittent
• Reduces noise and vibration when replacing a worn or noisy motor
• Helps prevent evaporator frost buildup and compressor overworking when airflow is restored

• One fan motor

• Disconnect power before attempting any repairs to avoid shock or injury
• Inspect the fan blade and mounting before installation; replace any damaged components
• Follow manufacturer service manual for wiring and mounting instructions; secure all connectors and fastenings

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 is an OEM component specifically designed for Whirlpool range hoods. It illuminates the cooktop below, aiding visibility during food preparation. A properly functioning light also improves the overall appearance of the range hood.

Causes of a bad light can include normal wear over time, and failure of internal filaments or ballasts due to continuous use. Excessive heat exposure may also degrade lighting components more rapidly. 

Symptoms of a bad light include:

• Dim or unlit illumination from the hood 
• Flickering or inconsistent operation
• Broken or missing lens cover/housing

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

The Grease Filter is an OEM part for Whirlpool range hoods. This filter captures grease, smoke, and other particles generated during cooking, preventing them from settling on kitchen surfaces and ensuring the air remains clean and fresh. The filter measures approximately 18” long by 12” wide. 

Causes of a bad Grease Filter include accumulation of grease and debris over time, which can lead to inefficiency in air filtration and ventilation. 

Symptoms of a bad filter include:

• Poor exhaust performance, leading to lingering odors or smoke in the kitchen
• Visible grease buildup on the filter surface
• Difficulty fitting the filter into its slot due to damage or deformation

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

This replacement blade-fan moves air inside the appliance to help maintain proper temperature and prevent ice buildup. It restores airflow so the appliance can cool and cycle as designed. What it does

• Circulates air over coils and compartments to support even cooling
• Helps prevent frost accumulation and hot spots caused by poor airflow
• Commonly replaced when airflow is weak or the fan is noisy or damaged
• Works with the original fan motor hub to spin smoothly and efficiently

• One blade-fan

• Disconnect power before beginning any repair to avoid electrical shock
• Handle the fan blades carefully to avoid bending; a warped blade can vibrate or rub
• Inspect the fan hub and motor before installation; replace damaged mounting hardware as needed

This replacement power cord provides the electrical connection that supplies your appliance with mains power. It restores safe, reliable power delivery so your appliance can operate normally. What it does:

• Replaces a damaged or missing power cord to restore electrical connection
• Helps address symptoms like no power, intermittent power, or visible cord damage
• Maintains the appliance's grounded connection when matched to the original cord
• Routes power from the wall outlet to the appliance's inlet or terminal block

• One replacement power cord

• Disconnect power at the breaker or unplug the appliance before starting work
• Route the cord and secure strain relief/fasteners per the appliance's service instructions

A replacement mounting plate that secures internal components and restores proper alignment in compatible Whirlpool appliances. Helps stop rattling and loose parts so the appliance runs more quietly and reliably. What it does:

• Secures and supports internal assemblies to maintain correct positioning
• Prevents vibration and rattling caused by a damaged or bent plate
• Helps maintain proper clearance so moving parts operate without interference
• Restores stable fit when the original plate is cracked, warped, or corroded

• Disconnect power (unplug or shut off breaker) before starting any repair
• Remove the appropriate access panel or trim to reach the plate; keep track of fasteners
• Use basic hand tools; avoid over-tightening screws to prevent distortion

This hood damper is the backdraft flap in the exhaust outlet. It opens when the blower runs to vent air outside and closes when off to help block outside drafts, odors, and pests from entering.

• Controls airflow from the blower to the duct during ventilation
• Closes when off to reduce backdrafts and outside air intrusion
• Helps maintain effective capture of smoke, steam, and odors
• Typical symptoms: drafts through the vent, flapping/rattling noises, poor venting, or a broken/missing flap

• Disconnect power; if vented, support or disconnect ducting as needed
• Access the exhaust outlet and remove the damaged damper
• Install with arrow/hinge oriented for airflow; the flap moves freely without binding
• Reassemble ductwork, restore power, and test the fan on all speeds

This replacement filter screens out debris to help protect internal components and maintain your appliance's performance. A clean, intact filter supports proper flow or airflow and helps prevent premature wear on related parts.

• Captures particles before they reach pumps, fans, or ducts to help prevent clogs and buildup
• Helps maintain consistent water or air movement for reliable operation
• Supports overall efficiency and reduces strain on the system
• Typical signs it needs replacement: visible damage or warping, heavy residue that won't clean off, restricted flow/air movement, recurring clogs

• Disconnect power and allow any hot surfaces to cool; shut off water if applicable
• Access the filter per your model's instructions; note its orientation and any locking tabs
• Seat the new filter fully and secure without forcing
• Restore power/water and verify proper operation and flow/air movement
