The control motor for range vent hoods is compatible with multiple brands, including Whirlpool, Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. Whirlpool also produces items for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea.
The gear motor start switch, which bears the part number W10235661, is specifically intended for use in downdraft vents. It activates the control board to start the gear motor upon pressing the button.
Prior to installation, ensure the downdraft vent is unplugged from the power source. To maintain safety, use work gloves to shield your hands.
