03Problems we fix

Range hood problems we fix in Gatineau

The fan won’t turn on at all

A burnt motor capacitor, a failed motor, a faulty switch or a wiring break at the connector. We check power to the hood, the switch and the wiring first; a capacitor is often the culprit.

Weak suction, smoke not clearing

Grease-soaked filters are the most common cause (clean or replace them), followed by a blocked duct, a broken backdraft damper or an ageing motor. We check the entire airflow path.

Rattling, grinding or humming

Worn motor bearings, an unbalanced blower wheel or a loose motor mount. We listen to the noise, then open the hood to confirm the cause before quoting.

The light won’t come on

Usually the bulb, sometimes a corroded socket or a failed switch. It is normally one of the quicker hood repairs.

Filters stuck or damaged

Bent aluminum mesh filters or jammed baffle filters. We clean or replace them and suggest a cleaning interval that suits how you cook.

Touch panel or buttons unresponsive

A failed control board or a burned-out membrane switch. We test the harness and the board to confirm which has failed before quoting the repair.

Burning smell or smoke from the hood? Stop using it right away and unplug it or trip its breaker. An overheating motor or a wiring fault is a kitchen fire risk.

Questions, answered

Something else? Call and ask.

613-301-0016
Do you repair island and ceiling-mounted hoods in Gatineau?

Yes, every mounting style: under-cabinet, wall-mounted, island, telescopic, downdraft and ductless (recirculating).

How much does range hood repair cost in Gatineau?

The diagnostic is $89 + tax residential ($129 + tax commercial) and is applied toward the repair. Switches, lights and capacitors sit at the low end, a blower motor costs more, and you get a written quote before we start.

The fan hums but does not turn. Is it the motor?

Often the motor bearings are seized with grease or the blower wheel is jammed; sometimes it is the capacitor or the speed switch. The diagnostic tests each one before a motor is replaced.

Can you repair the hood built into my over-the-range microwave?

Yes. The exhaust fan, light and filter in an over-the-range microwave are serviced the same way as a stand-alone hood; see microwave repair.

My hood no longer clears smoke. Is it broken?

Check the filters first; a grease-clogged filter can halve the airflow. If the filters are clean, the duct, the damper or the blower is the problem, and a recirculating hood with no duct will never clear smoke as well as a ducted one.

Do you charge extra to come to Gatineau from Ottawa?

No. Gatineau, Hull and Aylmer are inside our standard service area at the same $89 + tax residential rate, with service in French or English.
