Samsung Microwave Charcoal Filter DE63-30016G – Fix Cooking Odours That Won’t Clear from Your Kitchen

The DE63-30016G is the genuine OEM Samsung replacement that restores full odour absorption and keeps your kitchen air clean.

✓ Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I replace the charcoal filter? Every 3 to 6 months depending on how frequently you cook. Heavy daily cooking (especially fish, meats, or strong spices) warrants replacement every 3 months.

Can I wash this filter? No — this is a charcoal/carbon filter and is not washable. Washing destroys the activated carbon and renders it ineffective. Replace only.

Is this a genuine OEM part? Yes — DE63-30016G is a genuine Samsung OEM part.
