Whirlpool WML55011HW6/HB6/HS6 low-profile filters and turntable parts
Whirlpool Repair Parts List W11508187 Rev. A explicitly covers WML55011HW6, WML55011HB6, and WML55011HS6. It lists charcoal filter W11284565, grease filter W11206152, turntable W11401221, ring W11387723, and driver W11387721. Whirlpool's current W11213913 grease-and-charcoal filter accessory page separately lists base model codes WML55011HS, WML55011HW, and WML55011HB. It describes the accessory as no-disassembly owner replacement, but does not explicitly map W11213913 to the five component numbers or distinguish every full suffix; retain both receipts and verify the label and vent setup before selecting it.
Safety boundary
- Whirlpool says W11213913 filter replacement requires no appliance disassembly or repair experience; keep any work to the owner-accessible filter steps and follow the exact manual.
- Turn off/disconnect power before filter access as Whirlpool's owner-level filter guidance directs. Do not remove the outer cabinet or attempt internal electrical, high-voltage, door-motor, or magnetron repair.
- Do not force the grille, filters, turntable, ring, or driver. If the complete model label, vent route, or part mapping differs, stop and check with Whirlpool.
Compatibility requires a direct model listing, explicit supersession, or equivalent manufacturer evidence.

Required identifiers
- Complete model label: WML55011HW6 (white), WML55011HB6 (black), or WML55011HS6 (stainless)
- Identify whether the needed part is the charcoal filter, grease filter, glass turntable, ring, or driver
- Record the installed filter marking and determine whether the vent is recirculating or exhausting outdoors
- Check current Whirlpool parts availability/supersession against the complete suffix and serial before ordering
Compatibility rules
- Whirlpool's repair-parts list cover names the exact variants WML55011HW6, WML55011HB6, and WML55011HS6; its tables list W11284565 charcoal filter, W11206152 grease filter, W11401221 turntable, W11387723 ring, and W11387721 driver.
- Whirlpool accessory W11213913 is currently listed as a combined microwave grease-and-charcoal filter accessory and its official product page gives compatible base codes WML55011HS, WML55011HW, and WML55011HB. The source does not explain how that accessory pack relates to the individual component numbers in the 2020 exact repair parts list; confirm the full suffix and existing parts before choosing it.
- Apply individual part numbers only to the three complete model variants printed on repair-parts list W11508187 Rev. A. Do not broaden to later WML55011 revisions based on the shared base code alone.
- Whirlpool describes the WML55011HS as a low-profile 1.1 cu. ft. over-the-range microwave with a 12-inch turntable. That overview adds model context and does not replace the suffix-level parts list.
Never assume
- The base-code filter-accessory page documents a direct replacement/supersession of W11284565 or W11206152 by W11213913; Whirlpool's inspected pages do not establish that chain.
- WML55011HS with no trailing 6 is the same exact service revision as WML55011HS6.
- A charcoal filter is needed for a unit exhausting outdoors, or that a grease filter and charcoal filter are the same consumable.
- Similar-looking low-profile turntable components fit based on dimensions alone.
Exact full variants and component parts
- WML55011HW6 (white), WML55011HB6 (black), and WML55011HS6 (stainless) are the complete models named on Whirlpool Repair Parts List W11508187 Rev. A.
- Charcoal filter W11284565; grease filter W11206152.
- Turntable W11401221; ring W11387723; driver W11387721.
- The same exact parts list identifies W11396506 as the Use and Care Guide; use the full model suffix in Whirlpool's manual lookup.
Separate the component numbers from the combined filter accessory
Whirlpool's W11213913 accessory page lists compatibility with base codes WML55011HS, WML55011HW, and WML55011HB and describes it as a grease-and-charcoal filter accessory. The full-model parts list separately prints W11284565 and W11206152. The inspected sources do not state that W11213913 replaces both listed components; verify the complete model, vent path, and installed filter before ordering.
The charcoal filter path is relevant to recirculating venting. The grease filter is a separate hood filter. Use Whirlpool's model-specific owner information to determine cleaning and replacement requirements.
Turntable selection and service boundary
- The model-specific parts list names a 12-inch turntable set as W11401221 (turntable), W11387723 (ring), and W11387721 (driver). It does not support substitutions by size alone.
- If a filter kit, turntable piece, or mounting tab does not match the listed full model or seat normally, pause for an exact parts lookup.
- This page covers owner-safe filter/turntable care only; internal appliance repair belongs with qualified service.
