Customer Questions and Answers for Oven Vent (Bottom) by Whirlpool

This replacement oven vent installs at the lower front of the oven to channel hot air and moisture out of the cavity. Replacing a damaged vent restores proper airflow and a clean, secure front appearance.

• Mounts at the bottom/front of the oven to direct exhaust air away from the cavity
• Helps protect the control area and surrounding cabinetry from concentrated heat and moisture
• Replace if cracked, bent, missing, or loose
• Common symptoms: visible damage, rattling or gaps, heat/steam escaping from unusual areas at the front

• Disconnect power at the breaker; shut off gas supply if applicable. Allow the oven to cool completely.
• Open the door and remove mounting screws securing the existing vent (locations vary by model).
• Lift out the old vent; reuse existing hardware if in good condition.
• Position the new vent and tighten screws evenly. Wear cut-resistant gloves—edges can be sharp.
