Customer Questions and Answers for Hood Damper Assembly by Ge

Best Seller
Manufacturer Part

By: Ge
Part Number: OEM9618891
Manufacturer Part Number: WB06X10436

The Hood Damper Assembly is an OEM part for GE microwave ovens. This part controls the flow of exhaust air to minimize odors and smoke from cooking. This damper opens to allow air to vent outside during microwave operation and closes to prevent outside air from entering when the microwave is not in use.

Causes of a bad hood damper assembly can include mechanical failure such as a stuck or broken damper, deterioration of the linkage or springs that operate the damper, and blockage caused by grease or debris accumulation, which can impair its functionality.

Symptoms of a bad Hood Damper Assembly include:

  • Ineffective venting of smoke or cooking odors
  • External air leakage into the microwave system
  • Unusual noises during operation indicating a damper misalignment or obstruction

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

Questions & Answers

For Ge Hood Damper Assembly (Part Number: OEM9618891)

1 Answer

Brian, To change the configuration so that the motor blows out through the vent, you will take the cabinet off the unit and rotate the motor a 1/4 of a turn. Put the cabinet back on.

Bob for Model Number JVM1350SY

Hello, I am reinstalling my GE over the range microwave (JVM1350SY), this time with an outside vent. However, I do not have the adapter and damper to connect the ductwork to the microwave. I plugged in my model number and this part came up (WB06X10436). It looks like the frame and damper assembly. However, when I double check my model number on the part specific page, it says this part is not compatible. 1) How come the part is listed as compatible when I plug in my model number, but when I check on the part specific page it says incompatible? 2) If it is compatible, is this the part I need (frame and damper combined?) Thanks, Bob

Bob, the hood damper assy WB06X10436 is the correct replacement part and will fit your model JVM1350SY*. The model supplied, JVM1350SY, is a partial model number. Our compatibility tool only recognizes full model numbers tied to parts. Yes, you will need the frame and damper. Hope this helps you. Thanks!

Hello Ellen, You will need to get 2 parts for unit, which are WB06X10165 Bracket Vent motor and WB06X10436 Hood damper assembly. These parts do not come as a kit but the hood damper assembly has the flapper part with it.

Duane C. for Model Number JVM1730DP1BB

Just removed above stove micro to put in new cabinets. During removale rhw the "exhaust adapter" with damper was bent. At GE parts I found the adapter for about $17, but the damper was $40. Your prices are a bit lower. The damper in question is 9 5/8 inch long by 2 5/8 in wide thin aluminum and is very poorly made. It fits into the adapter. Your site shows the damper in the adapter. GE had almost the same picture with a note that the damper is sold separately. Is the damper in your adapter for the price indicated? If sold separatley, why is the damper so expensive?

Duane, according to your model number the damper assembly WB06X10436 is the correct part listed for your microwave. From the picture found on GE's site, our site, and all other sites I would say what you see in our image is what you will receive when you order this time. It will come with the damper and adapter. Thanks.

Hello Abbas. Based on the model number, WB06X10436 is the correct damper assembly. Unfortunately, we are unable to ship outside of the US at this time. We will need a US physical address to ship parts to. Thanks.
