This Cooktop Downdraft Vent Grease Filter traps grease from the exhaust air of your oven to prevent it from entering the blower and vent, potentially causing build-up and damage. If your current filter can no longer be cleaned and is not functioning properly, replacing this part may alleviate the issue. Check to see if your model number is compatible. Replacing this part will not require hand tools, disassembly of the appliance or previous repair experience.
