Vent and Range Hood Repair

Flexible duct material is not sturdy enough for a range hood and is difficult to clean and maintain. A rigid duct made of stainless steel is your best choice for range hood duct ventilation. Your ductwork must also be appropriately sized for your unit: four-inch duct for 400 CFM or below and up to ten-inch for 1200 CFM or higher.

If you can’t visibly see ductwork in your kitchen, your vent hood is likely ductless and recirculating the air in your kitchen. Double-check outside for a vent on the outer wall, and see if your hood came with filters or a recirculating kit, which comes with ductless setups.

There are a variety of vent hood types we do a range hood repair service on here at Mr. Applicance: 

• Ducted. These vent hoods exhaust air to the outside of your home.
• Non-Ducted or Recirculated. These hoods recirculate air after filtering it.
• Under-Cabinet. Typically non-ducted, these vent hoods have replaceable filters.
• Wall-Mounted Chimney. These are installed against the wall and look like a home chimney.
• Ceiling-Mounted Chimney. Also called island hoods, these are typically suspended above cooking islands.
• Custom Built-In. These blend in with cabinetry and have ventilation built into the wall.

When a vent hood fan is not working properly, the appliance may fail to remove smoke and odor from the air. A trained service professional can help diagnose and repair any issues that you may be having with your vent hood fan.

Some common reasons your vent hood fan may not be working include:

• No power: The hood might be unplugged, a circuit breaker tripped, or a fuse blown.
• Clogged filters: Heavily greased or dirty filters can restrict airflow and strain the motor, sometimes causing it to seize or overheat.
• Faulty motor: The fan motor itself might be burned out, have worn bearings, or be obstructed by debris.
• Defective switch/control panel: The switch that activates the fan, or the entire control board, could be faulty.
• Broken fan blades: Damaged or broken fan blades won't move air effectively.

While some minor issues may be handled on your own, it’s important to know when to call a professional for your vent hood service.

• Safety concerns: If you are uncomfortable working with electricity or disassembling the appliance.
• Complex electrical issues: If the fan isn't getting power, the control board is faulty, or there are wiring problems.
• Motor or blower wheel replacement: These are intricate repairs that require disassembly and proper reassembly.
• Ductwork problems: Clearing significant blockages, repairing leaks, or resizing ducts.
• Persistent issues: If you've tried basic troubleshooting and the problem persists.

A vent hood should operate with a reasonable hum, but excessive rattling, grinding, or humming indicates a problem. Possible causes for excessive vent hood noises include:

• Loose or damaged fan blades: Worn or unbalanced fan blades can cause vibrations and noise.
• Motor issues: Worn motor bearings or a failing motor can produce loud noises.
• Loose components: Screws, ductwork connections, or other parts within the hood assembly might be loose.
• Blocked ductwork: Obstructions in the ductwork can cause the motor to work harder and generate more noise.

Repairs should be left to trained service professionals who can assess your vent hood and share a repair plan or recommend replacement.
