8206229A - Whirlpool Microwave Filter

This Whirlpool Microwave Filter (8206229A) is a genuine part designed specifically for various Whirlpool and Estate microwave models. It is also known as a charcoal filter or grease filter, effectively absorbing cooking odors and smoke. The filter utilizes activated carbon to trap airborne contaminants, ensuring clean ventilation and the removal of odors. Over time, the efficiency of the filter decreases due to buildup and saturation, which restricts airflow and reduces its ability to trap contaminants. Symptoms indicating the need for a new filter include reduced airflow in the ventilation system and persistent odors even after the microwave is used. It's constructed of metal, fitting over the vent to capture grease, smoke, and dust from the cooking area. For optimal performance, it is recommended to regularly clean the filter to prevent grease buildup. Before purchasing, please check your device's model number to ensure compatibility with this filter.
