Common malfunctions

When a consumer installs a hood, they expect it to work reliably and consistently throughout its lifetime. Generally, well-known brand hoods live up to expectations – they clean the air efficiently and are easy to maintain.

Malfunctions of hoods are usually due to physical wear and tear of the equipment or violations of the rules of its operation. Contact our Forte Hood Repair and Service technicians for repairs.

Button panel failure

The push-button control of hoods is one of the most reliable. Nevertheless, in the course of operation, the control button contacts can get burned or oxidized due to dust, grease or moisture from careless cleaning. After removing the protective shield, you should check the integrity of contacts and tracks on the board. If there is no visible damage, check the circuit with a tester. If the button fails, it must be replaced by contacting Forte Hood Repairs.

Touch control doesn’t work

If the hood’s touch control does not work, the first thing to try is to reset the appliance. Sometimes this simple manipulation can solve the problem. If restarting does not solve the problem, it is necessary to check the voltage in the socket, the integrity of the wiring, and the functionality of the contacts. An indirect indicator of such a malfunction can be a situation when, when you turn on the hood, the lights flash, the motor starts, but does not respond to commands. Forte Hood Repair and Service can help solve these problems.

Fan noise

Any hood makes a certain amount of noise during operation. This situation is normal and does not indicate a breakdown of the appliance. But, if when you turn on the hood fan begins to make abnormal sounds – increased noise, squeaking, whistling, crackling, then you need to turn off the device and deal with the problem. The cause may be increased vibration of the impeller, increased bearing friction, poorly assembled unit, damaged or dirty blades. Forte Hood Repair kitchen hood technicians will quickly solve the problem.

Fan won’t spin

If there’s nothing wrong with the hood’s internal wiring, but the motor won’t start, the problem is a malfunction. The presence of a smell of burning wiring in this case may indicate a blown thermal fuse. It is usually located in the middle of the motor housing, at the beginning of the primary stator winding. If the motor hums, but the fan does not rotate, you need to check for breakdown of the starting capacitor. It’s best to trust Forte Hood Repairs and Services to diagnose and repair the motor.

Poor traction

Decreased performance of a recessed hood can be due to several problems. The first is to check the condition of the filters. If the reusable grease filter has not been blown for a long time and the disposable filters have not been changed, their filtering surfaces become clogged with grease, soot and other contaminants.

This leads to a decrease in filter capacity and reduces the efficiency of the hood. In addition, in this situation, the load on the motor of the device increases, which leads to its wear and can cause a breakdown. In this case, the solution is to replace or flush the filters. You can purchase replacement filters from Forte Hood Repair.

If you have a problem with the operation of your recessed hood or if it breaks, the best option is to contact Appliance Service Center, because trying to save money by turning to dubious private masters can turn into much higher costs. The experts at Forte Hood Repair and Service have the experience, expertise to diagnose and repair appliances.
