Parts for Ge PV976N1SS: 01 - Range Hood Parts

This motor start/run capacitor helps the appliance motor start and run smoothly, restoring proper motor performance and reducing strain. Replace a failing capacitor to address motor start problems and intermittent operation. What it does:

• Provides the electrical boost motors need to start and maintain RPM
• Helps prevent motor hesitating, sluggish starts, or failure to start
• Can reduce motor overheating and tripping caused by poor starting torque
• Works with the motor's electrical circuit to stabilize operation during run cycles

• Always disconnect power to the appliance before servicing.
• Discharge the capacitor before touching terminals to avoid shock.
• Match wiring and terminal orientation to the original part; secure connections tightly.

This charcoal filter removes cooking odors in appliances configured to recirculate air instead of venting outdoors. Replacing a saturated or damaged filter helps restore odor absorption and maintain effective airflow. What it does:

• Adsorbs cooking odors and some smoke in non-vented installations
• Helps maintain airflow and fan performance when replaced as the filter becomes saturated
• Common symptoms of a spent filter: lingering odors, reduced airflow, darkened or crumbling media
• Designed for recirculating setups; typically not used on externally vented installations

• Charcoal filter

• Disconnect power before service and allow the appliance to cool
• Open the front grille or bottom access panel and release any tabs or screws holding the old filter
• Install the new filter in the same orientation and secure it
• Wear gloves; nearby metal edges can be sharp

This grease filter traps airborne grease and cooking particles before they reach the blower and ductwork. Replacing a saturated or damaged filter helps restore vent performance, reduce lingering odors and smoke, and protect the ventilation system from buildup.

• Captures grease and particulates from cooktop exhaust to keep the vent path cleaner
• Helps maintain proper airflow and smoke/steam capture
• Common replacement signs: weak suction, visible saturation, tears/warping, or sagging

• Disconnect power and allow the appliance and filter area to cool before starting
• Open the filter panel/grille; support the filter while releasing tabs or latches
• Note orientation and seating; install the new filter securely without bending it
• Do not operate the vent without a grease filter; test fan operation after installation

The Main Control Board is an OEM component specifically designed for GE range hoods. It serves as the central processor responsible for monitoring and regulating all critical operations of the hood through the precise activation of electronic relays and components. The main control board facilitates programmed lighting and motor speed settings according to sensor inputs.

Symptoms of a bad main control board include:  

• Failure to turn on lights or adjust ventilation levels
• Sensor malfunctions triggering alarms  
• Display errors or inconsistent responses to commands
• Intermittent or dead operations unexplained 

Causes can involve power surges, water damage or worn traces/connections due to age.

This OEM GE replacement is compatible with Hotpoint, RCA and some Kenmore hoods as well.

This control transformer converts household line voltage to the low-voltage circuit used by the appliance's control and user interface, restoring power to control electronics for normal operation. What it does

• Steps down incoming mains voltage to supply the appliance's control board and user interface.
• Replaces a failed transformer that causes loss of power to displays, timers, or control circuits.
• Helps resolve intermittent or no-control symptoms when the transformer windings or connections have failed.
• Works as the electrical isolation and voltage source for low-voltage controls.

• One replacement transformer.

• Disconnect power at the breaker before starting any repair to avoid shock.
• Verify correct part number and orientation before removing mounting screws and wiring.
• Label or photograph wiring connections, then transfer wires to the new transformer exactly as removed.

This transition damper is a replacement damper assembly that directs and seals oven/exhaust airflow for proper venting. Restores correct airflow management to help prevent backflow and reduce venting issues. What it does:

• Opens and closes to route exhaust airflow through the cooking appliance vent path
• Seals the vent when closed to limit backdraft and unwanted air transfer
• Helps maintain proper venting for consistent oven performance
• Commonly replaces dampers that are stuck, warped, or fail to move smoothly

• Disconnect power (and gas, if applicable) before installing to avoid injury
• Handle the damper and actuator components gently; avoid bending the damper flap
• Verify orientation and fit against the vent housing before final fastening

This duct bucket is a replacement plastic exhaust channel that helps direct dryer airflow from the drum to the blower and vent, restoring proper venting and reducing lint bypass. What it does

• Channels exhaust air through the dryer to maintain consistent airflow.
• Helps route lint toward the lint filter area and prevents bypass leaks.
• Reduces air restrictions that can cause longer dry times or overheating.
• A cracked or warped bucket can cause unusual noises, air leaks, or reduced drying performance.

• Disconnect power (and gas, if applicable) before starting any repair.
• Access typically requires removing the dryer front panel or top; keep fasteners organized.
• Inspect surrounding seals and the lint trap for damage; replace as needed to ensure a proper seal.
