Whirlpool Compatible Filters

How to Find the Right Whirlpool Range Hood Filter

1. Locate your range hood model number. Open the range hood canopy and look for a white label on the inside top surface or side wall of the filter compartment. The model number is printed there.
2. Find the OEM filter part number. Look up your range hood model in the Whirlpool owner’s manual or parts diagram to identify the OEM filter part number.
3. Search by part number on this page. Enter the OEM part number in the search box to find the matching replacement filter from our catalog.
4. Alternative: search by filter dimensions. If the OEM part number is unknown, measure your existing filter (length × width × thickness) and search by size.

Whirlpool Range Hood Filter Types

Aluminum Mesh Grease Filters — Washable & Reusable

Aluminum mesh grease filters are the primary filtration stage in every range hood. A multi-layer aluminum mesh captures airborne grease particles, cooking aerosols, and smoke before they coat interior hood surfaces or enter the blower motor. Aluminum mesh filters are washable and reusable — clean monthly in the dishwasher or by hand with hot soapy water.

Activated Carbon Odor Filters — Disposable

Carbon odor filters are required in ductless (recirculating) range hoods where filtered air is returned to the kitchen rather than exhausted outdoors. Activated carbon adsorbs cooking odors, smoke compounds, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that aluminum mesh cannot capture. Carbon filters must be replaced—not washed—every 3–6 months or when odors persist.

Whirlpool Range Hood Filter Replacement Schedule

Aluminum mesh grease filters: Clean monthly in the dishwasher or with hot soapy water. Replace only when physically damaged—torn mesh, warped frame, or corrosion that cleaning cannot remove. Properly maintained aluminum mesh filters can last years.

Carbon odor filters: Replace every 3–6 months under normal residential cooking conditions. Replace sooner if cooking odors are detectable in the kitchen while the range hood runs at full speed—odor breakthrough is the most reliable indicator that the carbon is saturated. Do not attempt to wash carbon filters.

About Whirlpool®: A Century of American Home Appliances

Whirlpool Corporation traces its origins to 1911, when Louis Upton and his uncle Emory Upton founded the Upton Machine Company in St. Joseph, Michigan. The company manufactured electric motor-driven wringer washing machines — a product still rare enough in American households that success was far from certain. A critical early contract with Sears, Roebuck and Co. in 1916 established the distribution channel that would fuel the company’s growth for the next century. In 1917, Upton Machine merged with the Nineteen Hundred Washer Company of Binghamton, New York, forming the Nineteen Hundred Corporation and consolidating the two leading Sears washing machine suppliers into a single manufacturer.

The company renamed itself Whirlpool Corporation in 1950, and relocated its headquarters to Benton Harbor, Michigan, where it has remained for more than 70 years. Through the 1950s and 1960s, Whirlpool expanded its product line from washing machines into refrigerators, dishwashers, dryers, ranges, and — critically for the range hood filter business — cooking ventilation products including over-the-range exhaust hoods. As American kitchens were increasingly equipped with powered range ventilation, Whirlpool became a significant manufacturer and supplier of over-the-range microwave ovens and range hood units under several of its brand lines.

Whirlpool’s acquisition history reshaped the American home appliance industry. In 1986, the company acquired the KitchenAid brand from Hobart Corporation, gaining an iconic premium appliance line. A joint venture with Philips N.V. in 1989 — and the subsequent full acquisition of Philips’s appliance business in 1991 — made Whirlpool one of the first truly global home appliance companies, adding the Bauknecht brand in Europe. In 2006, Whirlpool acquired Maytag Corporation for approximately $2.7 billion, bringing the Maytag, Jenn-Air, and Amana brands under the Whirlpool umbrella and making Whirlpool the largest home appliance maker in the world by revenue at the time of the transaction.

Today, Whirlpool Corporation (NYSE: WHR) is headquartered in Benton Harbor, Michigan and manufactures or markets appliances under the Whirlpool®, KitchenAid®, Maytag®, JennAir®, Amana®, Consul, and Brastemp brand names in more than 170 countries. The range hood filters carried on this site are compatible replacements for grease filters originally specified in Whirlpool range hoods and over-the-range microwave units, including aluminum mesh grease filters identified by Whirlpool part numbers such as 8190232, 883149, and model designators including the 838H series.
