It isn’t a secret that burnt food produces things like carbon dioxide and smoke during cooking, which can have a very detrimental effect on human health. The hood, in this case, is an excellent assistant, which “draws” in harmful gasses and vapors and thereby partially changes the composition of the air in the room. Sanitary and safety standards establish a 8-10-fold air exchange to ensure normal human performance.
Possible reasons for the breakdown of the hood in Atherton
There are several reasons for the breakdown of the hood. All of them are identical to each other regardless of the brand. Let’s highlight the main:
- The hood doesn’t work. If the reason isn’t in the absence of voltage, then most likely the problem is in the fuse or capacitor. In any case, we remind you of the danger of self-repairing any part of the hood. It is better to call our company’s hotline.
- The light doesn’t work. There may be several reasons for this – a burnt-out light bulb, a malfunction of the fan on the hood, or a lack of mains voltage.
- Weak draft of the hood. After a non-working light, this is the next most popular problem that people come to us with. The reasons for weak traction are clogged, polluted filters and poor or absent traction in the ventilation system. The first problem is solved easily, namely by cleaning the filters. Experts advise cleaning filters as often as possible to avoid such problems. To check the presence of ventilation traction with your own hands, use an ordinary lighter – bring it to the ventilation hole, if the flame doesn’t go into it, then there is a problem. Specialists from the “Appliances Giants” company will easily make a forced ventilation system.
- Strong fan noise. This problem may occur because of poor-quality assembly at the factory or poor attachment of the hood to the wall. Tighten the fasteners — and the noise should go away.
- The hood works by blowing air. If the hood works “the other way around,” perhaps the problem is in the kitchen ventilation. Silencing it should solve the problem.
- The hood doesn’t switch the speed. Repair experience suggests that the reason here lies in a malfunction of the control unit, a complete failure, or a burnt contact. If the problem lies in the starting capacitor, replacing it should fix the hood.
