GE Range Hood Grease Filter (WB02X24872)

The GE Range Hood Grease Filter traps airborne grease, smoke, and cooking residue before they can reach the blower motor and ductwork above your range. It sits in the base of the hood and works by pulling greasy air through a mesh or baffle surface that captures grease particles and lets cleaner air pass through to the ventilation system.

A GE range hood grease filter can become ineffective when it is clogged with built-up grease, bent or damaged from improper cleaning, or worn to the point where it no longer captures particles efficiently. Filters that are not cleaned regularly can become saturated, restrict airflow, and eventually allow grease to reach internal hood components where it can cause damage or create a fire hazard.

These symptoms can help you decide if your grease filter needs to be replaced:

- Visible grease buildup, discoloration, or damage that does not clean off

- Reduced suction or airflow when the range hood is running

- Smoke or cooking odors lingering in the kitchen during or after cooking

- Grease dripping from the hood or collecting on surrounding surfaces

- Filter mesh is bent, torn, or no longer sits securely in the hood

- Range hood fan sounds louder than normal due to restricted airflow
