Kenmore 23352702000 range hood Parts

Yes. On the Kenmore 23352702000 range hood, the aluminum mesh grease filters are washable (and dishwasher safe), but charcoal (non-ducted) filters are not washable and must be replaced when they’re used up; follow the cleaning directions in the 23352702000 owner's manual.

What you can wash vs. what you replace

• Washable: aluminum mesh grease filters (remove and clean frequently)
• Not washable: charcoal (non-ducted) filters (do not soak or run through the dishwasher)
• Hood surfaces: wipe with a damp cloth and mild detergent
• Fan area: clean carefully so the fan blade does not get bent or misaligned

How to wash aluminum mesh filters (safe method)

1. Disconnect power to the range hood at the breaker (recommended before cleaning).
2. Remove the aluminum mesh filters.
3. Wash using hot water and mild detergent (or place in the dishwasher).
4. Rinse well and let the filters dry completely.
5. Reinstall filters, then restore power.

Charcoal (non-ducted) filter care

Charcoal filters are used when the hood is installed non-ducted (recirculating). For these filters:

• Wipe the filter surfaces with a damp cloth and mild detergent.
• Do not immerse in water.
• Do not put in the dishwasher.
• Replace the charcoal filters when they no longer control odors effectively.

Quick comparison

Filter type	Typical use	Can it be washed?	Best maintenance
Aluminum mesh grease filter	Ducted or non-ducted	Yes	Hot water and mild detergent; dishwasher safe

Yes. We can remove a Kenmore range hood model 23352702000 by shutting off power at the service panel, disconnecting the wiring, and then unfastening the mounting screws so the hood can be lowered safely. The exact screw locations and wiring cover details are shown in the 23352702000 owner's manual.

Before you start (safety and prep)

• Switch power off at the service panel and prevent it from being turned back on while you work.
• Use a sturdy step stool and have a second person support the hood during removal.
• Protect the cooktop with cardboard or a thick towel.
• If the hood is ducted, be ready to separate the duct connector and damper.
• Keep small parts together (screws, wire nuts, strain relief clamp).

Basic removal steps (typical process)

1. Turn off power at the breaker.
2. Remove the filters (pull down on the filter tabs and lift out).
3. Remove the wiring cover inside the hood to access connections.
4. Disconnect house wiring (typically wire nuts) and release the cable from the clamp.
5. If ducted, detach the hood from the damper/duct connector or duct plate.
6. Support the hood; remove the mounting screws; lower the hood and pull it away.

What you may need to remove first

Item to remove	Why it matters	Where it is

For Kenmore range hood model 23352702000, we recommend cleaning the aluminum mesh grease filters frequently (about every 1 to 3 months for most kitchens) and replacing charcoal (non-ducted) filters on a regular schedule (commonly every 3 to 6 months), sooner with heavy frying or high-heat cooking. See the 23352702000 owner's manual for your hood’s exact cleaning and replacement guidance.

Recommended schedule (based on how you use the hood)

• Light cooking (occasional boiling, low grease): clean mesh filters about every 2 to 3 months
• Typical cooking (daily meals, some sautéing): clean mesh filters about every 1 to 2 months
• Heavy cooking (frequent frying, wok cooking, lots of smoke): clean mesh filters monthly or more often
• Non-ducted setups: replace charcoal filters about every 3 to 6 months (or sooner if odors linger)

What your manual says for this model

The manual for this hood calls out:

• Aluminum mesh filters: “Clean frequently” using hot water and mild detergent; they are dishwasher safe.
• Charcoal filters: wipe surfaces with a damp cloth and mild detergent; do not immerse or put in the dishwasher.

On the Kenmore 23352702000 range hood, the main parts are the hood body (canopy), the blower and fan, the grease filters, the damper and venting path, and the controls and lighting. Your exact component names and diagrams are listed in the 23352702000 owner's manual.

Common range hood part names (and what they do)

Most range hoods, including this Kenmore model, use these standard component names:

• Canopy (hood body): captures smoke, steam, and grease above the cooktop
• Blower (fan motor) and fan blade/wheel: moves air through the hood and ducting
• Grease filter (aluminum mesh): traps grease before it reaches the blower and duct
• Damper (backdraft damper): helps prevent outside air from flowing back into the kitchen
• Control switches: typically separate fan and light switches (often rocker switches)
• Light assembly: lens, lamp socket or LED module/diode, and wiring

Parts you will see listed for model 23352702000

A Kenmore range hood like model 23352702000 typically lasts 10 to 20 years (about 15 years for many homes). Lifespan depends most on how often you cook, how well you keep grease filters clean, and whether the fan motor and switches stay protected from grease buildup.

What affects range hood lifespan most

• Filter cleaning frequency: clogged grease filters make the motor work harder.
• Cooking style: frequent frying and high-heat cooking shortens life.
• Vent setup: restricted ducting or a stuck damper reduces airflow.
• Moisture and grease exposure: buildup can damage wiring, switches, and bearings.
• How it’s cleaned: water entering the motor can cause early failure.

Maintenance that helps you reach the 15 to 20 year range

We recommend following the cleaning and operating guidance in the 23352702000 owner’s manual. Key habits:

• Wash aluminum mesh filters often (hot water and mild detergent; many are dishwasher safe).
• Wipe the hood surfaces regularly to prevent grease from migrating into controls.
• Keep the blower area clean; avoid bending the fan blade during cleaning.
• Confirm the damper opens freely and the duct path is not blocked.
• Disconnect power before cleaning or servicing.

Common wear items (and what they do)

Part	What you’ll notice when it’s failing	Example model-compatible part
Fan motor assembly	Fan won’t run, runs slow, or gets noisy	Range hood fan motor assembly SR99080535
Rocker switch	Fan or lights work only on some settings, or cut out	Range hood rocker switch, 2-pack (almond) SR561119
Grease filter	Poor airflow, more smoke lingering, greasy residue	Range hood grease filter, 2-pack S99010299

Why it matters

A range hood that is pulling air correctly removes smoke, grease, and odors more effectively. Keeping filters and airflow in good shape reduces strain on the fan motor, which is one of the biggest drivers of overall range hood life.

For the Kenmore 23352702000 range hood, neither filter is universally “better”; they solve different problems. Baffle filters (metal) are best for capturing grease in ducted setups, while charcoal filters are best for reducing cooking odors in non-ducted (recirculating) setups. Use the venting method and your cooking style to decide.

Quick comparison

Feature	Baffle (metal) filter	Charcoal (carbon) filter
Best for	Grease capture	Odor reduction
Typical setup	Ducted to outside	Non-ducted recirculating
Cleaning	Washable	Not washable; replace
Ongoing cost	Low	Ongoing replacements

How to choose for your kitchen

• Choose charcoal if your hood is installed non-ducted (recirculating); the manual notes non-ducted installations use non-ducted filters attached to the aluminum mesh filters (see the 23352702000 owner's manual).
• Choose baffle/metal style if you vent outside and cook frequently with oil (frying, searing); grease capture matters most.
• If you mostly simmer and do light cooking, charcoal can be enough for odor control in a recirculating setup.
• If you want the lowest maintenance cost, metal filters win because they are reusable.

Cleaning and maintenance basics

• Disconnect power before cleaning.
• Clean aluminum mesh/metal filters frequently with hot water and mild detergent; they are typically dishwasher safe.
• Wipe charcoal filter surfaces with a damp cloth; do not immerse or put charcoal filters in the dishwasher.
• Replace charcoal filters when odor control drops or the filter indicator shows it is time.

Why it matters

Using the wrong filter type can leave you with lingering odors (no charcoal in recirculating mode) or greasy buildup (poor grease capture). The right filter helps your Kenmore hood move air efficiently and keeps the fan and housing cleaner.
