Kenmore 23351645590 range hood Parts

For Kenmore model 23351645590, we clean the aluminum mesh filter about monthly using hot water and mild detergent (or a dishwasher cycle), then dry it completely before reinstalling; this prevents grease buildup that can reduce airflow and increase odors.

Safe, effective cleaning steps

• Turn the hood off; let surfaces cool.
• Disconnect power at the breaker or unplug before cleaning.
• Remove the aluminum mesh filter (release the latch/clips).
• Wash with hot water and mild detergent, or run it through the dishwasher.
• Rinse well (if hand-washed) and let the filter dry fully.
• Reinstall the filter securely so it seats flat.

If your hood is non-ducted (recirculating)

Some installations use an added non-ducted filter behind the aluminum mesh filter. We maintain it differently:

Filter type	How to clean	What to avoid	Typical interval
Aluminum mesh filter	Hot water + mild detergent or dishwasher	Reinstalling while wet	About every month
Non-ducted filter (behind mesh)	Wipe surface with damp cloth + mild detergent	Do not immerse; do not dishwasher	Replace when indicated/needed

For model-specific details on filter type and removal, follow the 23351645590 owner’s manual.

Why it matters

Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on the fan or filter. Regular filter cleaning helps the blower move air properly, keeps the fan quieter, and reduces the chance of grease-related flare-ups while cooking.

When to replace parts instead of cleaning

Replace hardware if the filter will not stay in place after cleaning.

• Filter will not latch or pops open
• Latch is cracked, bent, or missing spring tension
• Filter frame is warped and will not seat

A common fix is replacing the range hood filter latch S99420472.

A Kenmore range hood like model 23351645590 is typically made up of the hood body (canopy), a blower and motor to move air, grease filters, lights with a lens, and a control panel with switches; ducting and a duct cover are used on vented installations.

Common range hood parts (plain-language names)

• Hood canopy (hood body): the main metal housing over the cooktop
• Blower and motor: the fan assembly that pulls air and pushes it through the vent path
• Grease filter(s): usually aluminum mesh filters that trap grease
• Light system: light bulb(s), socket, and a protective lens
• Controls: fan speed switch and light switch (often rocker switches)
• Wiring and covers: wiring connections and protective covers inside the hood

Parts you can replace on Kenmore 23351645590

These are examples of service parts commonly replaced on this model:

• Range hood blower assembly S97012248
• Switch S97016971
• Range hood light lens S99110437
• Range hood filter latch S99420472
• Range hood wiring cover S98006621

Quick “name to function” guide

Part name	What it does	Common symptom when it fails
Blower and motor	Moves air and odors	Fan does not run, weak airflow, noisy fan
Grease filter	Captures grease	Grease buildup, reduced airflow
Fan switch	Selects HI/OFF/LO	Fan stuck on one speed or will not turn on
Light lens	Protects the light area	Cracked lens, exposed bulb

Why it matters

Knowing the correct part names helps you match the right replacement part and troubleshoot faster. For example, weak ventilation is often a filter or blower issue, while “no lights” is usually the light circuit, lens, or switch.

Where to confirm the exact terminology for your hood

On Kenmore range hood model 23351645590, a fan that will not run is usually caused by a failed fan switch, a loose or miswired power connection, or a problem in the blower assembly. We start by confirming the hood has power and the fan blade spins freely, then test the switch and blower.

Quick checks we do first (fast, no parts)

• Turn off power at the breaker, then remove the filter and confirm the fan blade spins freely by hand.
• Verify the fan rocker switch positions: HI (left), OFF (center), LO (right).
• Check for grease buildup on the aluminum mesh filter; heavy grease can restrict airflow and make the fan seem weak.
• Restore power and test both fan speeds; note whether you hear a hum (motor trying) or nothing (no power/control).
• If the hood was recently installed, recheck wiring connections and that the wiring cover is installed correctly.

Most likely failed parts

If the quick checks do not restore operation, these are the most common fixes for this model:

Symptom	Most likely cause	What we replace/test
No fan on HI or LO, lights may still work	Fan switch not closing	Switch S97016971 or switch S97016970 (match by wiring/position)
Fan hums but blade does not turn	Blower seized or motor failing	Range hood blower assembly S97012248
Fan runs intermittently or after moving wires	Loose connection at harness	Range hood blower motor wire harness S97005678

Why it matters

A non-working range hood fan reduces smoke and grease capture, and grease can accumulate faster on the filter and fan. The manual also calls out cleaning the ventilating fan and filter frequently to help prevent grease buildup and performance problems.

Recommended next steps (safe, practical)

• Use the wiring diagram and switch layout in the 23351645590 owner’s manual to identify the correct fan switch and access points.
• If the fan blade does not spin freely with power off, replace the blower assembly.
• If the blade spins freely but the fan never starts, replace the fan switch first (most common), then inspect the wire harness connections.
• After any repair, reinstall the wiring cover, restore power, and test HI and LO.
