Microwave - Over-the-Range Microwave Charcoal Filter Kits

Over-the-Range Microwave Charcoal Filter Kits are included with your over-the-range microwave should you choose to recirculate the air instead of venting to the outside. If a replacement charcoal filter is needed, your dealer can order the "JX" kit (contains just the filter), or you can order the filter part number from GE Appliance Parts.  

To find the charcoal filter:

  • Check the product specification for the charcoal filter or recirculation kit needed.
  • You can also find this information in the Owner's Manual and/or Installation Instructions.

 

When installing the filter:
  • The black charcoal side should be facing down. The shiny side should be facing up.
