Extractor hood repair in Lanarkshire
A cooker hood that won't run, has lost its suction or has dead lights is usually a motor, switch, capacitor or control fault. Loss of suction can also simply be a clogged grease filter.
Common problems
- Hood won't switch on
- Fan runs slowly or has lost suction
- Lights have stopped working
- Loud rattle or squeal
- Controls stick or don't respond
What to check first
- Wash the metal grease filters as the manual describes, because clogged filters cut suction dramatically.
- On a recirculating hood, change the charcoal filter on schedule.
- Check the bulbs before you assume the lighting circuit has failed.
When to call an engineer
Call an engineer if the motor hums but won't turn, the fuse trips, or the controls are dead.
Common questions
Why has my hood lost suction?
Almost always a clogged grease filter, a blocked duct, or on a recirculating hood a charcoal filter that needs replacing. A weak motor is the next suspect.
Can you fit a new extractor hood?
Fitting depends on ducting and electrics. Mention it in your enquiry and the engineer will tell you whether they take it.
