Yaswanth June 12, 2021 for Model Number PV977N1SS Regarding WB02X11348 : Can we open the case of the charcoal filter and replace just the filter pad instead of replacing the entire part? That way it might also be cheaper.

Cheryl Buckthorpe March 06, 2018 for Model Number PV976N1SS Our hood vent is vented to the outside. We noticed that the user guide states that the charcoal filter is for non-vented hood vents only, yet our filter is in the hood. I can only assume the builder should have taken this out. Am I correct? Should I take this part out if ours vents to the outside? I also can't believe that this replaceable part is riveted into a metal carriage, so the only way to replace the filter is to replace the metal part too at $147? That seems crazy. I am hoping you tell me I can remove this part :-) Thanks! Cheryl Buckthorpe
