A clogged filter, blocked duct, or malfunctioning fan motor could be restricting airflow. Cleaning or replacing the filter and ensuring the duct is clear can help restore proper ventilation.
Excessive noise may be caused by a loose or damaged fan blade, motor issues, or debris inside the vent. Inspect and tighten or replace any faulty components to reduce noise.
Burnt-out bulbs, a faulty light switch, or wiring issues could be the cause. Replacing the bulbs or checking the electrical connections may resolve the problem.
A clogged grease filter, obstructed duct, or a failing fan motor may reduce suction power. Cleaning the filters and ensuring proper duct installation can improve performance.
Grease and food residue can accumulate over time, leading to unpleasant odors. Regularly cleaning the filters and interior of the hood can help eliminate smells.
Check the power supply, circuit breaker, and control panel. A faulty switch or wiring issue may also prevent the unit from powering on.
Excess grease buildup in the filters or duct can lead to dripping. Cleaning or replacing the grease filters and wiping down the interior can prevent this issue.
Grease filters should be cleaned at least once a month, while charcoal filters (for ductless models) should be replaced every 3-6 months for optimal performance.
A faulty control board, overheating motor, or sensor issues could be responsible. Inspecting the electrical components and ensuring proper ventilation may help fix the issue.
If repairs are minor and cost-effective, fixing the hood is a good option. However, if the motor or control board is failing and replacement parts are expensive, upgrading to a new model may be more practical.
