GE WB06X10686 Microwave Vent Damper WB06X10686

Microwave Vent Damper – GE

The vent damper is a flap inside the microwave's exhaust duct that opens during ventilation to allow air to flow out and closes when the fan is off to prevent outside air, odors, and pests from entering through the duct. When it sticks open or closed, ventilation is impaired or outside air flows back in. This direct-replacement damper restores proper vent control.
