Whirlpool Charcoal Filter W10112514A for Microwaves - OEM Replace

In this review the Whirlpool Charcoal Filter W10112514A is assessed for homeowners and DIYers who maintain over-the-range microwaves. The bottom line: this genuine OEM filter is for anyone seeking a reliable, washable charcoal grease filter that fits multiple brands and replaces several legacy part numbers. It stands out because it is a true Whirlpool part built to the manufacturer's standards rather than an aftermarket copy, so it offers confidence in fit, durability and vent protection when installing or replacing a microwave exhaust filter.

Key Features

• Genuine OEM construction: Built to Whirlpool engineering standards so the filter fits and performs like the original part it replaces.
• Multiple part replacements: Replaces 1373090, 8184002, AH1957036, EA1957036, PS1957036 and W10112514 for straightforward compatibility checks.
• Washable and reusable: Constructed of durable metal so it can be cleaned and reused rather than discarded after one use.
• Grease trapping: Traps grease from exhaust air to help prevent build-up in the blower and vent system, reducing maintenance needs.
• Compact size: Measures approximately 11in x 6-1/4in x 3/8in, making it easy to verify fit against your microwave cavity or existing filter.
• Simple installation: Requires basic hand tools and some disassembly, suitable for owners with novice repair experience.

Who It's For

This filter is best for homeowners who want a direct replacement using an authentic Whirlpool part and for maintenance-minded cooks who want to limit grease reaching the blower and ductwork. It suits those comfortable unplugging their microwave and doing modest disassembly to replace a filter.

It is not intended for someone who needs a custom-size or non-standard filter; check your model compatibility before purchasing. If you prefer disposable charcoal pads instead of a washable metal filter, a different replacement accessory may be a better fit.

Pros & Cons
