• This hood is equipped with a main power disconnect switch. It is located
behind the grease filters on the right side of the hood on the control
housing. Flip this switch and press Fan/Light buttons again.
• A fuse may be blown or a circuit breaker tripped. Replace fuse or reset
circuit breaker.
• The blower connector is loose or not plugged into its mating connector.
Disconnect power to the unit. Locate blower and cable coming from
it. Follow cable until you find the connector. Make sure each blower
connector is securely plugged, one into the other.
• The motor is probably overheating and turning itself off. This can be
harmful to the motor. Check to. If off and on
cycling continues, call for service.
• Wrong size duct used in installation. This hood requires 8” ducting and a
maximum duct length of 100 equivalent feet to perform optimally. Using
smaller duct pipe or longer equivalent lengths of duct pipe will cause
improper venting. GE service technicians cannot correct this issue if
installed improperly.
• Make sure nothing is blocking the vent, including bird & other nests or
fallen pieces of dry wall.
• Damper blade in hood exhaust outlet or at wall/roof cap may be stuck.
Make sure all damper blades open freely.
• Make sure installer has used the correct size duct, not exceeded the
recommend equivalent length of ducting and all duct pieces are
properly connected and sealed.
• Non-rigid duct work is prohibited in these applications. If used, look for
kinks or other restrictions.
• Metal grease filters and/or charcoal filters (if present) may be dirty.
Clean the metal grease filter and replace charcoal filter (if present). See
Care and Cleaning instructions.
• Control logic confused. Disconnect power to the hood by resetting the
circuit breaker. Wait 30 seconds to allow controls to reset.
• Replacing bulbs with bare hands. Replace bulbs while wearing gloves to
keep skin oils off bulbs.
• Bulb wattage is too high. Replace with correct wattage.
