Customer Questions and Answers for Charcoal Filter by Ge

The Charcoal Filter is an OEM part for GE range hoods. This filter plays a role in eliminating cooking odors, smoke and grease particles from the air stream before they are expelled outside. Constructed with an advanced charcoal formulation, it traps unwanted smells and microscopic debris through absorption.

Causes of a bad filter can include saturation over many absorption cycles. As contaminants accumulate in the charcoal granules, its odor-removing capability naturally declines

Symptoms of a bad charcoal odor filter include:

• Cooking odors and irritating smells lingering indoors
• Grease or residue visible on the filter housing
• Exhaust air still carrying odor particles despite ventilation
• Filter appears overly used and darker in color

This OEM GE part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.
