WB06X10654 - GE Microwave Filter

This GE Microwave Filter (WB06X10654) is a genuine part designed specifically for GE microwaves. It plays a crucial role in the microwave's ventilation system by absorbing cooking odors and smoke from the air exhausted to the outside. The filter employs activated carbon to trap airborne contaminants effectively. Over time, the filters may become saturated or the buildup can restrict airflow, both of which necessitate a replacement. Additionally, this filter, also known as a grease filter, is found on the bottom of the microwave and is instrumental in capturing grease that accumulates when the microwave is in use.

Symptoms that indicate your filter may need replacement include noticeable odors despite the ventilation system running, or decreased ventilation efficiency. It's advisable to check and replace your GE microwave's filter to maintain clean ventilation and effective odor removal. This specific part is approximately 8.5 inches by 5 inches and, while most microwaves utilize two filters, it is sold individually. To replace, simply grasp the filter ring, push it to the back of the microwave, then lift out the old filter. For extended life, occasionally remove the filter and cleanse it in warm water with a detergent solution.

Before purchasing, verify your microwave's model number to ensure compatibility with this filter.
