WB02X11243 - GE Microwave Filter

This GE Microwave Filter (WB02X11243) is a genuine part designed specifically for GE microwaves. It is compatible with a wide range of GE microwave models. Also known as a "charcoal filter," it plays a critical role in the microwave's ventilation system by absorbing cooking odors and smoke from the air that is exhausted to the outside. The filter employs activated carbon to capture airborne contaminants effectively. Over time, the charcoal filter can become saturated with contaminants and restrict airflow, which reduces its effectiveness in trapping odors and smoke. When you notice a decrease in ventilation efficiency or an increase in cooking odors, it may be time to replace the filter. Remember to verify your microwave's model number for compatibility before purchasing.
