Why the hood does not start or does not pull well enough
Turbines for Hoods
Hoods are among those kitchen appliances that are used most often, but we don't always give them that much importance. Their presence in the dining room is rather inconspicuous and we hardly think about them often. We turn on the hood when we cook, but then we don't pay attention to it. Until a problem arises in its operation. And we hardly want the smell of our neighbors' cooking to fill our kitchen.
A damaged range hood is a cause for concern, but you should be aware that there are quite easy solutions to this. Most problems with the kitchen appliance can be fixed with good maintenance. In all cases, we should turn to the services of a professional service more often, where quality maintenance of the range hood can be carried out.
One of the most common and annoying problems with the appliance is when it cannot be turned on. This is usually due to the turbine. The design of the hood is extremely simple and it is easy to find out what is the cause of any new problem with the appliance. Over time, grease builds up in the motor, and the bushings begin to tighten. This leads to the inability of the appliance to start.
Another reason why the hood does not turn on in working mode is the motor capacitor. By the way, it is the starting charge of the device. Perhaps the most minor problem that prevents the hood from starting is a failure in the electronic module. Don't worry, its repair is extremely easy.
The reason for the poor performance of the hood when sucking in air can also be due to clogged air filters. This prevents the appliance from functioning normally during cooking. In case of such problems, the filters of the appliance should be cleaned and checked. If necessary, replace them with new ones.
Among the frequently mentioned reasons for poor air intake is a problem with the air ducts. The possibility of motor damage should not be ignored, which also leads to the inability of the unit to pull enough air. Another reason for poor air intake during operation may be a broken fan blade.
