How to clean Kenmore Elite range hood filters?
For Kenmore Elite range hood model 23355023007, clean the aluminum mesh grease filters about monthly using hot water and mild detergent (or a dishwasher cycle), then dry completely before reinstalling. If your hood is set up for non-ducted operation, clean the non-ducted filter surfaces with a damp cloth only.
What to clean (ducted vs. non-ducted)
Your cleaning method depends on how the hood vents.
- Aluminum mesh grease filters (common on ducted and non-ducted setups): wash frequently; monthly is typical
- Non-ducted filters (recirculating add-on filters): wipe the surface; do not soak
- Hood surfaces and fan area: wipe down to prevent grease buildup and odors
| Filter type | Safe cleaning method | Avoid |
|---|---|---|
| Aluminum mesh grease filter | Hot water + mild detergent; dishwasher is OK | Harsh abrasives that can damage the mesh |
| Non-ducted filter (recirculating) | Damp cloth + mild detergent | Immersing in water; dishwasher |
Step-by-step: cleaning the aluminum mesh grease filters
We recommend following the handling and cleaning guidance in the 23355023007 owner's manual.
- Turn the hood off; let surfaces cool
- Remove the filters by pulling down on the filter tabs, then lifting out
- Wash in hot water with mild detergent (or place in the dishwasher)
- Rinse well if hand-washing
- Dry completely before reinstalling
- Wash more often if you fry foods or do high-heat cooking that creates heavy grease
If you need replacement filters
If the filters are bent, won’t come clean, or no longer fit securely, replacement is the best fix.

What are the parts of a range hood called?
On the Kenmore Elite range hood model 23355023007, the main parts are typically the hood canopy (body), venting components (duct connector and damper), blower and motor, control panel or touch pad, lights, and grease filters. These parts work together to capture smoke and grease and exhaust air outdoors (or recirculate with the right filters).
Common range hood parts and what they do
- Hood canopy (hood body): the main shell that mounts above the cooktop.
- Grease filter: traps grease before it reaches the blower and ductwork.
- Blower wheel and motor: pulls air through the filters and pushes it into the duct (or through non-ducted filters).
- Vent damper and duct connector: helps direct airflow and reduces backdraft when the hood is off.
- Control panel or touch pad: turns the fan and lights on and off and selects fan speed.
- Light system: light panel, socket, and bulb(s) to illuminate the cooking surface.
Parts you will commonly replace on model 23355023007
| Symptom | Most likely part area | Example part for this model |
|---|---|---|
| Grease buildup, poor airflow | Grease filter | Range hood 30-in hood grease filter, 2-pack 99010302 |
| Lights not working | Light socket or light panel | Range hood light socket SR111630 |
| Rattling or flap noise at vent | Damper | Range hood vent damper SR740013 |
Why it matters
Knowing the correct part names helps you match the symptom to the right section of the hood. It also helps when you check the wiring and venting requirements, since this model is designed for proper grounding, metal ductwork, and outdoor venting for ducted installations.
Quick identification tips
- If the issue is grease dripping or heavy smoke, start with the grease filter and cleaning.
- If the fan runs but performance is weak, check for a stuck damper flap and restricted ductwork.
- If lights flicker or cut out, inspect the socket connections and the light panel.
- For installation clearances and venting options (ducted vs non-ducted), use the 23355023007 owner’s manual.

Where can I find my Kenmore Elite oven model number?
For Kenmore Elite model 23355023007, the model number is typically printed on a rating label attached to the appliance body. On a range hood, we most often see it inside the hood area behind the grease filter or on an interior side panel.
Where to check on a Kenmore Elite range hood
Look in these common spots (power off is best before reaching inside the hood):
- Inside the hood, behind the grease filter
- On an interior side wall of the hood canopy
- Near the wiring compartment cover (inside the hood)
- On the top of the hood body (sometimes visible after loosening the chimney or upper cover)
- On the back of the hood (visible from inside a cabinet, if cabinet-mounted)
If you need diagrams and label locations for your exact hood family, use the 23355023007 owner's manual.
Quick tip: confirm you are reading the right number
Range hoods often show multiple identifiers. Use this checklist so you capture the correct one:

- Serial number: unique to your specific hood
- Color/finish: some manuals list similar models by finish (stainless, white, black)
- Part numbers: numbers like 99010302 are parts, not the model
| Label item | What it’s used for | Example you might see |
|---|---|---|
| Model number | Matching parts and diagrams | 23355023007 |
| Serial number | Warranty and manufacturing info | Varies |
| Part number | Ordering a specific replacement part | 99010302 |

Why is the fan not working on my Kenmore range hood?
On Kenmore Elite range hood model 23355023007, the fan typically stops working because the hood is not getting power, the control fuse is blown (indicator lights may still work), the push-button switch/control is failing, or the blower circuit is interrupted. Start with the fuse and control checks in the 23355023007 owner's manual.
Quick checks we recommend first
- Confirm the breaker is on and any wall switch feeding the hood is on.
- Press multiple fan-speed buttons; watch whether the fan-level indicator lights change.
- If indicators respond but the fan does not run, check the hood control fuse.
- Remove and clean the grease filters; heavy buildup restricts airflow and can overheat the hood.
- For ducted setups, make sure the damper is not stuck closed.
What the indicator lights can mean on this model
The manual explains the hood control has a protective fuse. When that fuse opens (blows), the green fan-level indicators can still operate normally, but the fan and lights will not turn on.
| Symptom | Most likely cause | Next step |
|---|---|---|
| Indicators change, fan never runs | Blown control fuse | Access and replace the fuse per the manual |
| No indicators, no fan | No power or failed control | Check power supply, then control wiring |
| Fan seems “automatic” and runs high | Heat Sentry active | Let the hood cool, then re-test speeds |
Safe fuse access basics
- Turn off power at the breaker.
- Remove filters and the bottom panel to reach the control area.
- Inspect the fuse; replace if open.
- Reassemble, restore power, and test.
Parts that can help with airflow and access
Why it matters
A working blower removes smoke and grease; keeping filters clean and venting clear helps the motor run cooler and reduces grease buildup.
