Troubleshooting
DANGER: Turn off the power circuit breaker or the power switch on the junction box before performing maintenance.
Touching circuitry inside the range hood while it is energized will result in death or serious injury.
Problem Solution
The range hood will not operate. - Check that the power supply cable and all electrical wiring are properly
connected.
- Check that the power is turned on at the junction box or circuit breaker.
- Check that the wiring between the switch board and the control board are
connected properly.
The range hood vibrates when the blower is operating. - Check that the range hood has been secured properly to the wall. Tighten
into position, if necessary.
- Check that the motor is secured in place. If not, then tighten the motor in
place.
- Check that the fan is not damaged. If so, replace the fan.
The blowers seem weak. - Check that the duct size used is at least 6 in. (152 mm) round. The range
hood will not function efciently with insufcient duct size.
- Check that the duct is not clogged with debris and the tight mesh on the
wall cap, if applicable, is not restricting air ow.
- Check that the damper unit is opening properly.
- Check that no birds or animals have nested in the duct.
The lights work, but the blower is not spinning, is stuck,
or is rattling.
- The thermal protection system detects if the motor is too hot to operate and
shuts the motor down. In this case, the motor will function properly after
the thermal protection system cools down (after approximately 10 min.).
- Check that the fan is not jammed or scraping the bottom.
- If nothing else works, the motor may be defective or seized. If so, replace
the motor.
The range hood is not venting properly. - Check that the distance between the cooktop and the bottom of the range
hood is 18 in.–29.5 in. (458 mm–750 mm).
- Make sure that the duct work follows all requirements. Reduce the length
of duct work and the number of elbows, if necessary. Ensure that all joints
are properly connected, sealed, and taped.
- Check that the duct does not open against the wind and, if necessary,
adjust.
- Ensure that the power is on high speed for heavy cooking.
- Wind from opened windows or doors may affect the performance of the
range hood. Close all windows and doors
to eliminate outside air ow.
- Check that no birds or animals have nested in the duct.
The light does not work. - Check to see if light bulb is burnt. If so, replace.
- Check the light bulb to see if it is loose. If so, tighten.
- The problem may be the light assembly. Have the light assembly serviced
or replaced.
