Parts for HWR12XCJ: Room Air Conditioner Parts

Accordion screen for the appliance ventilation path that traps lint, dust and debris to protect the blower and help maintain proper airflow—replacing a torn or clogged screen can restore performance and reduce odors. What it does:

• Traps lint, dust and debris before they reach the blower and internal components; common signs of a failing screen include visible buildup and reduced airflow.
• Protects the fan and motor from larger particles that can cause noise or premature wear.
• Helps maintain efficient ventilation and can reduce lingering odors caused by trapped debris.
• Flexible accordion design fits into the filter housing; inspect for tears, holes, or heavy buildup.

• Disconnect power (unplug or shut off breaker) before accessing the filter area.
• Locate the filter/vent housing; remove the access grille or cover to remove the old screen and install the new one.
• Ensure the replacement screen seats fully with no gaps before restoring power.
• Do not operate the appliance with a damaged or improperly seated screen.
