Customer Questions and Answers for Hood Damper Assembly by Ge

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.

Len, The top damper for this unit will be part number WB06X10920. Unfortunately, we do not have the template for the upper cabinet.

Angela, as long as the exterior vent cap damper can open freely without excessive resistance, it should not affect the venting capability.

Hello Gay, All you should have to do is drop the microwave and remove the fan assembly. Turn it so it is facing the correct position to line up with the ducting in your home and reinstall the microwave. The hood vent assembly should be in place on the unit as installed.

Microwave was having cold air from outside both inside and under above the stove. Repairman took micro down and set aside...told me to drywall hole going to roof vent better and that there was no damper ever installed on back of microwave??? Anyway, repairman can not find damper...so he says. Is this what I need to vent microwave out the back and up to roof vent??? Model # JVM1750DM1BB Serial # VS900752B Mfg. 2009. Exactly what part do I need to order???? I think it is HOOD DAMPER ASSEMBLY right??? If so let me know so I can order and get the microwave back on the wall.

Hello Jeffrey, You will need to lower the unit, remove the screws holding the metal bracket WB06X10714 in place, remove the single screw holding the motor assembly in position. Pull the motor up out of the microwave and turn it so the fan exhaust points towards the front of the unit and put the retaining screw back in place. This unit does not show a charcoal filter in the parts list so it is not an option.

Jaya This damper hood would be size 10" x 3 3/4" rectangular ducting that will need to go to it.

Marianne for Model Number PVM1870SM3SS

I have a GE microwave model number PVM1870SM3SS. The black plastic piece that is behind the chrome piece that swings open when the microwave is on fell off the microwave. The plastic attaching it to the microwave broke and the piece needs to be replaced. It is labeled Grille DE64-01873A. I am not sure what it is called but it may be a hood damper assembly. Please let me know if the correct replacement part number is WB07X11385. Thank you.

1 Answer

Marianne, The part number that you will need for this piece will be the grille assembly which is part number WB07X11385. The black grill part is not available separately.

Hello Pam. It is not likely but it could work. If not, you will need the model off the new microwave.
