Description
The Door handle assembly is an OEM part for Whirlpool ranges. It is a component that includes both the door handle for convenient access, as well as the vent responsible for safely removing heat, smoke, and odors from the oven cavity.
Causes of a bad door handle and vent assembly can include wear from continuous use, heat exposure warping plastic components, or damage from impacts over time. Grease and food debris buildup can also deteriorate vent fan motors and air channels.
Symptoms of a bad assembly include:
- Difficulty opening or closing the oven door
- Excessive smoke or burned food smells
- The vent fan not operating or exhausting properly
- Internal components like springs or bearings becoming loose
This genuine OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
