WB02X10956 General Electric Microwave Charcoal Filter

Microwave Charcoal Filter

GE's range of products includes brands such as Hotpoint, General Electric, and Sears-Kenmore. This charcoal filter is a genuine OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) part designed specifically for GE microwaves. Its primary function is to filter and purify the air by absorbing and neutralizing odors that occur during cooking. As food is heated in the microwave, it releases vapors and smells which can linger inside the unit. The charcoal filter effectively captures these odors to prevent them from escaping back into the kitchen environment.

A filter may need replacement if it is used beyond the recommended period or frequently exposed to strong-smelling foods.

Signs that indicate the need for a new charcoal filter include:

- Persistent odors during or after microwave use.
- Food acquiring smells from previous cooking sessions.
- The filter material looking worn out or turning dark/black.

It is important to note that this charcoal filter is not washable and should be replaced once it becomes ineffective. The filter is metallic in color and measures approximately 9 inches in width by 4 inches in depth.

Additionally, this original GE part is compatible with certain models of Kenmore microwaves.
