Carbon filters, also called charcoal filters, are used in rangehoods that recirculate air back into the kitchen instead of ducting it outside. The carbon absorbs cooking odours that a grease filter can't catch. Our records describe it simply as a carbon filter and don't list models, so match 484000008572 to your old filter or your rangehood's parts list.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhen to change a rangehood carbon filter\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eActivated carbon traps odour molecules in a huge number of tiny pores, and once those pores are full the filter stops working. Unlike an aluminium grease filter, a carbon filter usually can't be washed clean, so it's replaced on a schedule. Signs it's due are cooking smells hanging around after the rangehood has run, a stale smell when the fan starts, and air that feels greasy. How often depends on how much you cook, so check the instruction book for your rangehood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePart details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenuine Whirlpool part 484000008572\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarbon (charcoal) odour filter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor rangehoods set up to recirculate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModels not on file, match the old filter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFitting the carbon filter\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTurn the rangehood off at the wall and let it cool. Take out the grease filters to reach the carbon filter behind them. Most carbon filters twist, clip or slide into place over the fan inlet. Remove the old one, fit the new filter the same way, refit the grease filters and run the fan to check for rattles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eQuestions about this part\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDo I need a carbon filter if my rangehood vents outside?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. Carbon filters are only needed when the rangehood recirculates air into the kitchen. If yours is ducted outside, the grease filters do the job on their own. Your installer or instruction book can confirm how it's set up.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Whirlpool","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44551349436494,"sku":"484000008572","price":86.42,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/partsshop.com.au\/products\/484000008572-genuine-whirlpool-rangehood-carbon-filter","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
