W11213882 Whirlpool Microwave Charcoal Filter

Microwave Charcoal Filter

Whirlpool manufactures various brands, including Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. Additionally, Whirlpool produces items for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea. This specific Whirlpool Charcoal Filter is an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) part for select Whirlpool microwave models. It effectively absorbs odors and filters out grease particles from the air circulated by the microwave's venting system, helping to keep your kitchen air clean.

Over time, charcoal filters in microwaves can accumulate grease and particles, reducing their effectiveness. This can lead to poorer air quality and less efficient odor absorption. Regular replacement is important to maintain the microwave's ventilation performance.

Signs that it may be time to replace your microwave charcoal filter include:

- Persistent food odors in the kitchen after using the microwave.
- Decreased effectiveness of the microwave's venting system.
- Visible grease or dirt buildup on the filter.
- Reduced airflow from the microwave's venting system.
- Increased noise from the venting system, which may indicate a clogged filter.

This genuine Whirlpool OEM replacement part is compatible with Maytag, Jenn-Air, and Kenmore models.
