I bought this on clearance at the local home depot. It was marked down to 75% of listed price. Upon further inspection, before install, the cause of the clearance was clear. The fan blade had broken at the motor shaft. I am a handy sort of guy and capable of tearing this thing down to the core and rebuilding it several times and not losing a screw in the process, so this doesn't particularly bother me. I however have not had the greatest of luck with finding the part to replace it. Similar appliances from GE have the parts diagram extremely accessible with basic internet searches. Its almost as if Whirlpool would prefer we NOT work on them. Could you send me the parts diagram for this? That way I can order my fan blade and get this thing spinning.

Purchased a few months ago. Have no issues with the functionality - it works as expected. But as the previous reviewer stated, the design is not at all adequate - it's an under cabinet unit that tilts upwards and every part of the underside is visible. It's currently clean because it's new but as it starts showing it's age with normal wear and usage, it's going to look horrible.

I want to retract my earlier review, as it turns out the issue was with the installation, not the unit. Should not have written it while upset. The blue was a very tight fitting tape that we were able to remove, and the fan works. Still not happy with the underside being canted upward so it is easily visible.

Bought this for a kitchen remodel. The bottom is canted up at an angle so when you look at it, you see the entire bottom. Why would I want to look at the bottom of the exhaust fan? To top it off, the edge of the filters is blue. Huh? I pick out countertop colors, tile colors, and cabinet colors only to have a fairly bright blue introduced? Also, each of the two filters look different - the do not match. Oh, by the way, our guy hooked it up and it does not turn on! We confirmed there is power going to the unit. Ugh.
