Description

This hood damper is the exhaust vent flap that opens to let cooking smoke and steam exit and closes to help stop outside air and odors from entering when the hood fan is off. It restores proper venting and helps maintain kitchen airflow control. What it does:

• Acts as the vent flap that opens during fan operation and closes when the fan is off
• Prevents backdrafts and helps keep outside air, pests, and odors from entering the home
• A faulty or stuck damper can cause poor vent performance, reduced airflow, or rattling noises
• Replaces a worn or broken damper to restore normal hood exhaust function

What's included: One hood damper Install notes:

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning work; follow all safety precautions
• Basic installation typically requires removing the hood grille or access panel to reach the damper
• Secure mounting so the flap can open and close freely
• Test fan operation after installation to ensure the damper opens and seals properly
