Kenmore 23355012000 range hood Parts

Most range hoods last 10 to 20 years; for a Kenmore 23355012000 range hood, regular grease-filter cleaning and keeping the blower area free of grease buildup are the biggest factors that help you reach the high end of that range. See the maintenance and use guidelines in the 23355012000 owner's manual.

A range hood’s life is mainly driven by motor wear, heat exposure, and grease accumulation.

• Light to moderate cooking (filters cleaned regularly): often 15 to 20 years
• Heavy daily cooking (filters rarely cleaned): often 10 to 15 years
• Poor airflow (blocked filters or damper issues): shortens motor life and increases noise
• Grease buildup on the blower wheel or motor: increases load and heat
• Improper mounting height: reduces capture efficiency and can lead to more grease inside the hood

We recommend these habits for the Kenmore 23355012000:

• Clean the aluminum grease filters on a consistent schedule (monthly is common for frequent cooking).
• Run the fan a few minutes before cooking and keep it running after cooking to clear heat and steam.
• Wipe the underside and intake area to prevent grease from migrating into the blower.
• Make sure the damper opens freely and the duct path is not restricted (for ducted setups).
• Replace damaged or heavily clogged filters instead of forcing airflow through them.

These symptoms usually mean the motor, controls, or airflow path is wearing out:

• Fan runs but doesn’t pull much air
• New or worsening noise (rattle, scraping, humming)
• Fan speeds are inconsistent or the hood turns on by itself
• Lights work but fan does not (or vice versa)
• Burning smell or repeated fuse trips (stop using and have it serviced)

A range hood that is maintained and moving air correctly removes heat, smoke, odors, and grease more effectively; that reduces grease buildup in the hood and helps protect the fan motor and wiring over time.

For Kenmore range hood model 23355012000, we find the filter size by removing the existing grease filter and measuring its width, height, and thickness in inches. The most reliable match is the size of the filter you have now, then confirming the correct replacement style in the owner's manual.

• Turn off the hood and let the lights cool.
• Remove the grease filter by releasing the tabs and lifting it out (the manual shows this removal step).
• Measure the metal frame of the filter:
  • Width: left to right
  • Height: top to bottom
  • Thickness: front to back (important for fit in the track)
• Measure in inches and round to the nearest 1/8 inch.
• If your hood uses two filters, measure both; small differences can happen.

This model commonly uses aluminum mesh grease filters; the correct replacement depends on the hood width (for example, 30-inch, 36-inch, or 42-inch configurations). If your current filter is damaged or missing, match by hood width and the parts listing for your model.

A correctly sized grease filter seals into the filter track so air is pulled through the mesh instead of around it. That improves smoke and odor capture, helps protect the blower wheel and motor from grease buildup, and keeps the hood running quieter.

• Compare your measurements to the old filter, not the cabinet opening.
• Confirm whether your hood is ducted or non-ducted; non-ducted setups also use additional filters attached to the aluminum mesh filters (not the same as the grease filter size).
• If the filter won’t sit flat, check for bent rails or a warped filter frame.

No. Range hood filters are not all the same, and they are not universal across sizes or venting styles. For Kenmore model 23355012000, you need a filter that matches the hood’s width and whether it’s ducted (metal grease filter) or non-ducted (adds a separate non-ducted filter over the mesh). See the owner's manual for the exact filter type and care.

Filters vary by design and purpose, so the “right” one depends on your hood setup.

• Width and fit: common sizes include 30-inch, 36-inch, and 42-inch hoods
• Filter style: aluminum mesh, baffle, or specialty media
• Venting type: ducted uses grease filters; non-ducted uses grease filters plus non-ducted filters
• Mounting method: tabs, clips, rails, or spring latches must match your hood
• Maintenance needs: washable vs. replace-only filters

This model uses aluminum mesh filters for grease capture. The manual also describes non-ducted filters (used only in non-ducted installations) that attach to the aluminum mesh filters.

Use these checks before ordering so the filter fits and the fan airflow stays strong.

• Confirm your hood width (30, 36, or 42 inches)
• Match the filter’s shape and latch points to your existing filter
• If you run non-ducted (recirculating), plan for the non-ducted filters in addition to the mesh filters
• Keep filters clean; clogged mesh reduces airflow and increases noise

A correctly sized, clean grease filter protects the blower wheel and motor from grease buildup, helps capture smoke and odors, and keeps the hood running quieter. The manual recommends washing aluminum mesh filters about monthly (more often with heavy frying or wok cooking).

Your Kenmore range hood model number is printed on the rating label (model tag) attached to the hood. On Kenmore model 23355012000, the label is commonly found on the top of the hood, on the underside, or behind one of the grease filters; match the number exactly to order the right parts.

Check these spots in this order:

• Behind the grease filter(s): remove the aluminum mesh filter and look on the inner frame
• Underside of the hood: along the front edge or near the light panel
• Top of the hood: easiest to see if the hood is not tightly enclosed by cabinets
• Inside the wiring area: sometimes near the junction box cover (power must be off before opening)

The model number is usually a long number with dots or spaces in the manual, but you should match what is printed on your label exactly.

Range hood parts like grease filters, light sockets, and vent dampers are sized to the hood width and design. Using the exact model number helps ensure the replacement part fits and the mounting holes and electrical connections line up.

• Confirm the model number, then compare your hood width (commonly 30, 36, or 42 inches)
• Use the parts list for model 23355012000 to choose the correct filter size
• If you are replacing a common wear item, start with the owner's manual
• For filter replacements, verify whether your hood uses a 30-inch, 36-inch, or 42-inch grease filter set (examples on this model page include range hood 30-in hood grease filter, 2-pack 99010302, range hood grease filter, 2-pack S99010303, and range hood grease filter, 2-pack S99010304)

A Kenmore range hood like model 23355012000 is typically made up of the hood body (canopy), a venting path (ducted or non-ducted), a blower and motor, lights, a control panel, and grease filtration. The exact layout and service parts list are shown in the owner's manual.

Most range hoods use the same core components to capture smoke, steam, odors, and grease:

• Hood canopy (hood body): the main shell that mounts under the cabinet
• Grease filter(s): traps grease before air reaches the blower and duct
• Blower wheel and motor: moves air through the hood and out the duct (or through filters in recirculation)
• Vent damper/duct connector: helps prevent outside air from flowing back into the kitchen
• Control panel or touch pad: turns the fan and lights on and off, selects speeds
• Light assembly: lens/panel, socket, and bulb(s)

For Kenmore 23355012000, these are examples of replaceable parts commonly ordered for performance or lighting issues:

• Range hood 30-in hood grease filter, 2-pack 99010302
• Range hood vent damper SR740013
• Range hood light socket SR111630
• Touch pad (off-white) SR169008
• Motoe asm SR520132

Using the right part name helps you match the correct replacement to your hood size and configuration (ducted vs. non-ducted). For example, the manual notes typical mounting height guidance (often 24 to 30 inches above the cooking surface) and describes how ducting and filtration choices affect capture efficiency.
