Part W10355451 7-Inch Round Vent Damper
Purpose
Prevents backdrafts and regulates airflow in ventilation ducts.
Details
The W10355451 is a genuine OEM 7-inch round vent damper designed for range hoods and ventilation systems. This gravity-actuated flap connects the exhaust duct to the range hood, opening to allow grease, smoke, and steam to exit during cooking while closing automatically when the fan is off to prevent cold outdoor air, pests, or debris from entering the kitchen. Symptoms of failure include loud rattling noises during wind, the damper flap sticking in the open or closed position, or a noticeable draft coming through the range hood when not in use. Replacing a warped or damaged damper restores energy efficiency and ensures quiet, effective ventilation.
Included Items
One 7" round damper assembly; Required tools: Multi-screwdriver and foil duct tape.
