xUpgrade your microwave’s grease filtration
Air Filter Factory offers replacement grease filters designed for LG microwaves, including the 5230W1A012B. Each filter uses a 12-layer aluminum mesh to help manage cooking grease and residue while preserving airflow. This 2-pack makes it convenient to refresh both sides at once, helping your kitchen stay cleaner between deeper cleanings.
Why choose these filters? They’re crafted from high‑quality aluminum, proudly made in the USA, and engineered to withstand regular cooking with a robust multi-layer mesh. A pull-tab on the short edge simplifies handling during removal and installation. The compact dimensions—5 inches by 7-3/4 inches by 3/32 inch—fit a range of LG microwave grease filtering needs, with a cross-reference list to help confirm compatibility before purchase.
Key benefits and what you get
- 12-layer aluminum mesh for durable grease filtration during everyday cooking
- Two filters per package with protective packaging to prevent transit damage
- Made in the USA, using quality materials you can rely on
- Pull-tab design for straightforward removal and installation
- Compact size (5" x 7-3/4" x 3/32") suitable for many LG models

Fit, care, and installation
Install the filter with the mesh facing downward, directly underneath the microwave above the stove. For care, hand wash with mild dish detergent and warm water. Soak for about an hour, then gently scrub the surface with a soft-bristle brush, rinse, and let air dry before reinstallation.
Real-life use and considerations
In busy kitchens, a multi-layer aluminum mesh can help manage grease created during cooking and frying, potentially reducing buildup around the vent area. While results depend on usage, the 12-layer design offers more material for filtration compared to single-layer options. Always measure your current filter and compare dimensions to ensure a proper fit.
What’s included and packaging
- 2 replacement grease filters
