Description
Restore control over your downdraft ventilation system with the Whirlpool W10341820 Cooktop Fan Switch Kit. This genuine OEM assembly is typically a three-position switch (e.g., Off, Low, High) that activates the fan motor in downdraft cooktops and ranges. The kit often includes the rocker switch mechanism and two black plastic trim bezels, which snap into the cooktop control panel to cover the switch opening and provide the finished aesthetic.
Features & Benefits:
- Fan Motor Control: Provides multi-speed (or On/Off) control over the downdraft ventilation fan motor.
- Complete Kit: Includes the switch unit and black trim bezels for a tidy, finished installation.
- Downdraft Specific: Used in Jenn-Air and compatible cooktops with integrated ventilation systems.
- Fixes Non-Operation: Replaces switches that fail to turn the fan motor on or off.
Common Symptoms That Indicate Replacement:
- The cooktop fan motor will not start when the switch is activated.
