LG Microwave Grease Filter 5230W1A012G, Fixes Restricted Ventilation from a Saturated Filter

Is This the Right Part?

✅ Cross Reference Information

Common Symptoms

• Weak suction — fan runs but airflow is noticeably reduced during cooking
• Grease filter visibly dark, saturated, bent, torn, or no longer seating securely
• Grease or moisture dripping from the underside of the microwave during cooking
• Airflow remains restricted even after cleaning the existing filter

Check Before Replacing

• Confirm the fan/vent motor runs when activated — a failed motor is a separate repair
• Inspect external ductwork and damper for blockages or a stuck-closed damper
• Verify the filter is the correct part — confirm model number and filter dimensions
• Check whether a separate charcoal filter is also due for replacement on recirculating installations
