Whirlpool W11282981 Charcoal Filter for Microwave

The Whirlpool W11282981 charcoal filter is intended for use in Whirlpool and KitchenAid over-the-range microwave hoods. This filter captures airborne odor molecules as they pass through the hood during ventilation. The porous structure of charcoal helps absorb odor-causing particles, preventing them from returning to the kitchen environment. It is effective in reducing cooking odors from foods such as fish, garlic, and burnt popcorn. Additionally, the filter can contribute to improved indoor air quality by minimizing the presence of allergens and dust. Regular replacement is recommended every 6 months to a year, depending on usage, to maintain its effectiveness.
