WB02X11536 General Electric Microwave Charcoal Filter

Microwave Charcoal Filter.

The charcoal filter is a genuine OEM replacement part compatible with various GE brands including Cafe, General Electric, Monogram, Haier, Hotpoint, and Profile. It is specifically designed for use in over-the-range GE microwave ovens and is supplied directly by the manufacturer.

The primary function of this filter is to cleanse the air that circulates within the microwave while it operates. It effectively minimizes cooking odors, especially those from potent foods such as fish. Since microwaves utilize fans to move air, keeping the filter in good working condition is important for managing smells.

Filters may need to be replaced if they become saturated with odors or clogged, often due to grease from cooking on the stove below. Replacing the filter is straightforward: simply remove the old filter from its slot and place the new one in, without the need for any tools. Made from a combination of mesh and metal, this charcoal filter helps keep your microwave and kitchen air fresh and clean.
