Thegrease filter of your over-the-range microwave should be cleaned monthly. This filter helps keep grease and other debris from entering the vent system of your microwave so the exhaust fan can circulate clean air into your kitchen as you cook at your range. If the grease filter is dirty, the exhaust fan won't be able to do its job well.

Additionally, your microwave's charcoal filter will need to be replaced. Unlike the grease filter, the charcoal filter cannot be cleaned and should instead be replaced every 6 months. The charcoal filter helps minimize odors being released into your home as you cook.


You can continue to clean your microwave grease filter monthly, unless physical damage occurs. If your grease filter breaks, it is best to replace it as soon as possible to prevent grease from entering the vent system of your microwave. Once replaced, continue to maintain as recommended.


While cleaning and replacing the filters of your microwave is important, it is also recommended to clean your microwave regularly. Regular cleaning will reduce build up that may ultimately damage your microwave and will help remove any burnt smells.




Now that we know the importance of microwave filter cleaning, it is time to get into the nitty-gritty. In this next section, we will cover how to clean a microwave grease filter and how to properly replace a microwave charcoal filter.


Your Whirlpool Over-the-Range Microwave comes equipped with grease filters that help clear the air while you cook. While these filters are reusable, they need to be cleaned on a monthly basis to ensure that they maintain peak performance.


Place the filter in a sink or basin full of hot, soapy water. If your filter is exceptionally dirty, pour in about cup of baking soda. Let it soak for at least 10 minutes, or longer if necessary.




Replace the old charcoal filter with a new one. You can purchase Whirlpool microwave filter replacements directly from whirlpool.com. When you replace the filter, make sure it is properly positioned and secure.

Countertop microwaves don't have to worry about filters, but over-the-range microwaves use at least one type of filter, and possibly a second. First are grease filters, which are on the bottom of the microwave, over the cooktop. There might be 1 or 2 of these and they should be cleaned regularly. The second type is the charcoal filter, which only applies if the microwave was installed to recirculate air back into the kitchen. (Microwaves that vent up or out the back don't have to worry about the charcoal filter.) If the charcoal filter is in use, it is not cleanable, and should be replaced once or twice a year.


Charcoal filters are only used in over-the-range microwaves that recirculate air back into the kitchen instead of venting up or out the back. The charcoal filter should be replaced every 6 to 12 months, and more often if necessary. Unlike the grease filter, the charcoal filter cannot be cleaned and reused. You can order a new filter from the Samsung Parts website.


To change the filter, unplug the microwave or turn off the power at the main power supply. Open the door, and locate the vent mounting screws at the top of the microwave. Some models have two, while some have three.




The grease filters should be removed and cleaned at least once every four months or as needed. The steps for removing and replacing each filter are the same except for the direction they use to lock in place.



If one or both of your filters is damaged or lost, you can purchase more from the Samsung Parts website.


If desired, you can turn this function on or off by using either the Options or My Settings menu, depending on your model. Keep in mind that the filter will still need to be cleaned every couple of months. Check your user manual for specific instructions.
