Common malfunctions

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

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

Button panel breakage

The push-button control of hoods is one of the most reliable. Nevertheless, in the process of operation, the contacts of the control buttons 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 ZLINE Hood Repairs.

Touch control doesn’t work

If the cooker hood does not have a working touch control, the first thing to try is to reset the unit. 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. ZLINE Hood Repair and Service can help solve these problems.

Noisy fan

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, creaking, then you need to turn off the device and deal with the problem. The cause can be increased vibration of the impeller, increased friction of the bearings, poorly assembled unit, damaged or dirty blades. ZLINE Hood Repair technicians will quickly solve the problem.

The fan won’t spin

If there is nothing wrong with the internal wiring of the hood, but the motor does not start, the problem is in its 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 is best to trust the experts at ZLINE 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. Replacement filters can be purchased from the masters of ZLINE Hood Repair.

If you have a problem with the operation of your recessed hood or its breakdown, it is best to contact Appliance Service Center, as trying to save money by turning to dubious private handymen can turn into much higher costs. ZLINE Hood Repair and Service specialists have the experience and knowledge to diagnose and repair appliances. They will quickly and expertly repair your appliance and replace faulty components and units.
