popular questions
My range hood is making excessive noise. How can I get rid of this?
When running, a range hood should function quietly but if you begin hearing excessive noise, the motor of the fan or surrounding areas might be dirty. This is not an issue you want to wait on, as the motor has to work harder and will wear out sooner. If cleaning the area surrounding the motor does not eliminate the noise, your motor might need to be replaced.
Why is there a smell coming from my fan?
Your fan should be removing smell, not creating it. If you notice a smell within your fan or hood, the most common cause is an accumulation of dust and/or great in the initial filter. Most hoods will have removable filters or grates which you can give a quick wash.
How can I prevent future issues with my range hood?
As with most appliances, keeping your unit clean and avoiding unnecessary wear is key. You will want to regularly clean the hood, including the vent and filter so they do not become clogged. Also avoid leaving the vent on the highest speed as this can cause overheating and damage to the motor.
