790682 Genuine Rangehood Aluminium Mesh Filter for Fisher & Paykel Rangehoods HC60PCHTX1 HC60PCIX1, also 790666

Fisher & Paykel part 790682 is the genuine aluminium mesh grease filter for the HC60PCHTX1 rangehood, and our stock description also ties it to the HC60PCIX1. Older paperwork may list the same filter as 790666. A fresh filter brings back proper extraction and stops grease from reaching the fan, which is easier and cheaper than cleaning a greasy motor later.

Fisher & Paykel rangehood filter greasy, bent or damaged?

Grease-laden steam rises off the cooktop and passes through the mesh filter on its way to the fan. Layers of aluminium mesh catch the grease so it does not coat the motor, the ducting or the inside of the hood. Filters that are clogged, dented or have separated at the frame let grease straight through and slow the airflow, which shows up as more noise, weaker extraction, lingering cooking smells and oily drips. Heavily soaked filters are also a fire hazard, so replace any filter that will no longer come clean.

Removing and refitting the filter

With the rangehood and lights off and the cooktop cool, press the release catch and lower the old filter out carefully, as it may be oily. Most of these filters locate at one edge and click in with a catch at the other, so fit the new one the same way the old one came out and make sure it sits flat. Washing the filter every month or two keeps extraction strong.
