Grip the filter tab, slide it toward you, and lower it out of the slot. Slide the new filter into the same slot until it clicks or seats flush.

Once the mesh is deformed, torn, or the grease has polymerized (hardened and darkened permanently), washing won’t restore airflow. If the filter doesn’t look visibly clean and open after washing, replace it. A $30 filter protects a $500+ fan motor — it’s the cheapest insurance in your kitchen.\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"LG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50337518453025,"sku":"A1163268G","price":29.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0897\/7783\/2225\/files\/LG_Microwave_Grease_Filter_5230W1A012G_Restore_Ventilation_Remove_Cooking_Grease.png?v=1781534913","url":"https:\/\/xpartsupply.com\/products\/lg-5230w1a012g-microwave-grease-filter","provider":"XPart Supply Ltd.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
