Whirlpool 8285507 Range Hood Charcoal Filter

Product Description

The WHIRLPOOL 8285507 is a replacement charcoal filter designed for recirculating range hoods. Charcoal filters trap grease vapors and odors that pass through the primary mesh or baffle filter, neutralizing cooking smells before air is returned to the kitchen. This filter is a direct OEM-style replacement, maintaining the original performance characteristics of the hood. Installation does not require tools in most configurations — the filter clips or slides into the designated filter bay inside the hood canopy. Kitchen ventilation technicians and appliance service pros handle this replacement during routine maintenance intervals.

This filter is intended for use in recirculating (ductless) range hood installations where exhaust air is cleaned and returned to the kitchen rather than vented to the exterior. According to available product data, the 8285507 is specifically noted for use with the KWCV107MM range hood model. It is a non-washable, single-use filter that must be replaced when saturated — typically every three to six months depending on cooking frequency and volume.

Key Features

• Activated charcoal media absorbs and neutralizes cooking odors in recirculating hood systems
• Non-washable construction — designed for replacement, not cleaning
• OEM-style replacement maintains original hood airflow and filtration performance
• Compatible with the KWCV107MM range hood as noted in product documentation
• Direct drop-in fit with no tools required in most hood configurations

Compatibility

Specified for use with the KWCV107MM range hood. Verify the model number on your hood's rating plate before ordering to confirm fitment.

Installation Notes

Disconnect power to the range hood at the circuit breaker or unplug the unit before accessing the filter bay. Charcoal filters are typically located behind or beneath the grease filter mesh — consult the hood's service manual for exact filter bay access. This is a non-washable filter; do not attempt to clean or reuse it. Dispose of the saturated filter per local waste guidelines and install the replacement by reversing the removal steps.
