RoseMary, The 8206230A/ 8206230A Charcoal Filter is usually located on the top of the microwave, behind the top vent grille. There is usually only room for one (1) filter at a time. Without a model number we can't be sure of the proper part needed or have an idea of your needs, or whether the front grille is held by retainer screws or is a snap fit. The filters are sold as an individual part, you'll need to order four(4) 8206230A. Tghe part is in stock and available at this time. Thanks,

Hello Ravi, The charcoal filter is 8206230A and is located behind the air grille. It is accessed by removing two screws on the top edge of the unit that thread down toward the floor and the air grille should slip out easily. The filter is directly behind this grille and should simply lift out. The grease filter W10208631A is on the bottom of the unit and is accessed from the front. It should slip to one side and the end drops down for removal. The new filter is installed in the reverse order.

Joy, Depending on usage, the charcoal filter should be replaced every 6 to 12 months, regardless of brand or model. The more often the unit is used, the more often you need to replace the filters. Thanks,
