troubleshooting
NOTHING WORKS (Control Panel not responding, Blower not working)
Solution 1: Turn on power at circuit breaker panel or fuse box . Check for
tripped breaker or blown fuse under the black plastic cover on the rear of
the hood.
Solution 2: Make sure hood power cable is plugged in and powered.
LIGHTS NOT TURNING ON
RANGE HOOD VIBRATES WHEN BLOWER IS ON
Solution 1: Make sure the range hood has been secured properly to the ceiling
or wall.
Solution 2: Ensure the two nuts (one on each side) on the blower moter’s axle are
tight. These are accessible by removing the safety covers on each side.
Solution 3: Ensure the venting
system
is correct.
Back-pressure caused by incorrect
venting not only leads to poor performance but can also create vibrations at the
hood.
BLOWER SYSTEM SEEMS WEAK
Solution 1: Increase the fan speed, ensure that it is at a high enough setting.
Solution 2: Make sure the ducting is sized and run correctly. Range hood will
not function efficiently with insufficient duct size (IE, 9” duct over 8” hole).
Solution 3: Check to see if the duct is clogged or if the damper unit (half-
circular flapper) is installed correctly. A tight mesh on the side wall cap unit
might also cause restriction to the air flow.
Solution 4: Ensure the correct vent termination cap is used with whose cfm
rating matches that of each motor.

AIR NOT VENTING OUT PROPERLY
Solution 1: Make sure there is at least 36” between the top of the cooking
surface and the bottom of the hood.
Solution 2: Reduce the number of elbows and length of duct work. Check to
ensure all joints are properly connected, sealed and taped.
Solution 3: Make sure power is on high speed for heavy cooking.
Solution 4: See checks under “Blower system seems weak” above.
Solution 1: see “nothing works”
Solution 2:
Check the wiring on the lights to insure a secure connection/
no. loose wires.
Solution 3:
Swap out lights to determine if bulbs are defective
