Troubleshooting
Fan does not turn on (but light turns on).
This is probably due to either a defective fan switch or a burned-out fan motor. Both can
be replaced without removing the range hood from the wall or cabinet. Use an ohm meter
to determine which component is not working. If the ohm meter reads that the fan switch
has 0 ohms of resistance, then it is the motor that needs to be replaced. If it reads anything
other than zero, then the switch must be replaced.
Fan only runs at one speed.
Please see instructions above for troubleshooting when your fan does not turn on (but light
turns on).
Fan circulates air, but does not vent outside.
If air is blowing through the front vent openings, then your range hood has been installed
for ductless operation. In order to convert the system to vent outside, a technician must
install metal ductwork from the range hood through either an outside wall or the roof.
If air is not blowing from the front vent openings, check inside the cabinet above the
range hood. If you see a metal duct leading away from the vent hood, then you
have a system that vents to the outdoors. If you do not see a duct, your unit may be
venting through the back wall.
Light does not turn on (but fan turns on).
This could be because the bulb has burned out. Try replacing the light bulb. If the light
still does not work, either the light switch or the lamp-holder socket is defective. Both can
be replaced without removing the range hood from the wall or cabinet.
Night light does not turn on.
Please see above instructions for troubleshooting when the light that does not turn on
(but fan turns on).
Range hood does not turn on at all.
Check for a tripped circuit breaker or a blown fuse, since the range hood is wired directly
to your household electrical system.
NOTE: All work must be performed by a qualified and licensed technician!
