12273000000177 OEM Rangehood Filter, Aftermarket Replacement Range Hood Filter for Kitchen Rangehoods

12273000000177 is an OEM rangehood filter, an aftermarket replacement made to the original equipment specification for rangehoods that list this number. Our records don't name the rangehood brand, the models or whether it's a grease or charcoal filter, so the most reliable check is the number on your old filter or in your rangehood's manual. If the numbers match, it's a direct swap.

Why rangehood filters need replacing

A rangehood filter traps what rises from the cooktop before the air reaches the fan and ducting. Grease filters catch fat and oil, while charcoal filters on recirculating hoods absorb cooking odours before the air returns to the kitchen. A clogged or damaged filter cuts suction, lets grease build up on the motor and inside the hood, and can leave smells and steam hanging in the room. Bent frames, torn mesh, a filter that no longer clips in, or one that stays sticky after washing are all reasons to fit a new one.

Changing the filter

Turn the rangehood and its lights off, and let the hood cool if you've just been cooking. Release the old filter using its catch or tabs, supporting it so it doesn't drop onto the cooktop. Slide the new filter into the same position, press until the catch locks, then run the fan to check there's no rattle.

Questions about this part

How often should a rangehood filter be replaced?

It depends on the filter type and how much you cook. Metal grease filters can usually be washed and only need replacing when damaged, while charcoal filters can't be cleaned and are replaced regularly. Check your rangehood manual for its recommended interval.
