XPARTCO DE63-00666A Microwave Grease Filter
The XPARTCO DE63-00666A is an aftermarket replacement aluminum mesh grease filter for Samsung, GE, and Kenmore over-the-range microwaves. This 12-layer aluminum mesh filter sits in the vent opening on the bottom of the microwave and captures airborne grease from cooking below before it can be pulled into the microwave's internal fan, motor, and electronics. Over time the mesh becomes saturated with grease and cooking residue, which restricts airflow, reduces the range hood function's effectiveness, and — if left unreplaced — creates a fire hazard from trapped, hardened grease.
This is a direct-fit aftermarket replacement built to the same dimensions and 12-layer mesh construction as the original filter. Regular replacement (most manufacturers recommend every 1–2 years depending on cooking frequency) keeps ventilation performance up and reduces fire risk.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO DE63-00666A Microwave Grease Filter fixes reduced range-hood suction, lingering cooking odors/smoke, or a visibly grease-clogged filter on Samsung, GE, and Kenmore over-the-range microwaves. 12-layer aluminum mesh, approx. 6-3/4" x 6-3/8". Classic symptom: weaker venting over the stovetop, or a filter that looks dark, gummy, or saturated with grease.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
- Weak or reduced range-hood ventilation over the stovetop
- Lingering smoke, steam, or cooking odors that don't clear
- Visibly clogged, discolored, or grease-saturated filter mesh
- Increased fire risk from accumulated grease buildup
- Microwave fan sounds like it's working harder than normal
- Grease dripping or residue visible around the vent opening
Cross Reference Information
Part numbers can change over a product's lifecycle as manufacturers update designs or release new appliance models. For your convenience, we've included any known superseded, alternate, or cross-reference part numbers that match this item.
Replaces Part Numbers
This grease filter directly replaces the following part numbers:
DE63-00666A, AP5306190, ASM36232, EAP4228252, PD00031284, PS4228252, WB02X11534, 2309683, AP5331907, 2218485, AGE21451, AH3506741, EA3506741, PD00035255, PS3506741
AP5306190 was the earlier part number for this filter, later superseded by DE63-00666A under Samsung's current numbering. WB02X11534 is the equivalent GE-branded part number for the same physical filter design.
Note: DE63-00367G is a separate charcoal/carbon odor filter often sold alongside this aluminum grease filter for ductless (recirculating) installations. It is a different part and is not interchangeable with this grease filter — do not confuse the two when ordering.
Compatibility
This grease filter is compatible with the following Samsung and Kenmore over-the-range microwave models:
- Samsung: CVM517P2M1S1, CVM521P2M1S1, DVM7195BL2TS, JNM7196DK4BB/WW, JVM-1950BTC01/STC01/WTC01, JVM7195DK4BB/WW, MC17J8000CG/CS, MC17J8100CS, MC17T8000CG/CS, ME16A4021AB/AS/AW, ME16H702SEB/SES
- Kenmore: 40185052010, 40185052210, 40185052310, 40185053010, 40185053210, 40185053310, 40185059010, 40185059210
Note: Via the equivalent WB02X11534 part number, this same filter design is also used on select GE over-the-range microwaves. We were not able to confirm a specific GE model list at this time — if your microwave is GE-branded, compare your existing filter's dimensions (approximately 6-3/4" x 6-3/8") against this listing, or contact our support team with your model number to verify before ordering.

Installation Notes
ℹ️ No Tools Required Unplug the microwave or switch off its circuit breaker before beginning, as a safety precaution. Locate the grease filter along the bottom vent opening of the microwave — it typically has a small tab or handle and slides straight out once released from its retaining clips. Remove the old filter and note its orientation. Slide the new filter into the same position and orientation, pressing gently until it clicks or seats into the retaining clips. No screwdriver or other tools are needed. For best results, clean or replace this filter regularly, especially if you cook frequently or fry foods often, since grease buildup accelerates with heavier cooking use.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my grease filter needs replacing?
Look for a mesh filter that appears dark, gummy, or heavily coated with grease residue, or notice reduced ventilation performance and lingering cooking smoke or odors. Most manufacturers recommend replacing this filter every 1–2 years depending on how often you cook.
Can I wash and reuse the grease filter instead of replacing it?
Some aluminum mesh grease filters can be hand-washed with degreasing dish soap, but heavily saturated or discolored filters lose effectiveness over time even after washing. If yours is old, warped, or has visible buildup that won't clean out, replacement is the more reliable fix.
Is this the same as the charcoal/odor filter?
No. This is the aluminum mesh grease filter, which traps grease particles. The charcoal/carbon filter (DE63-00367G) is a separate component used for odor control in ductless recirculating installations. They are not interchangeable — check which one your microwave uses before ordering.
Will this fit my GE microwave?
This filter design is also sold under the GE part number WB02X11534 for the same physical filter. We don't have a confirmed GE model list, so compare your existing filter's dimensions against this listing or contact our support team with your model number to verify before ordering.
