Vent Hood Repair in Houston, TX
Range hood fan not working or too loud in Houston? We repair vent hoods of all major brands throughout Houston and surrounding areas.
Vent Hood Problems We Repair
A vent hood that won't run, runs weakly, is loud, or has lights that don't work is usually a fan motor, switch, control board or blocked-duct problem. We repair wall-mounted and island range hoods, under-cabinet hoods and downdraft ventilation throughout Houston.
We test the controls and the blower motor separately and check the ducting for blockages or a stuck damper, since a hood that seems weak can have an airflow problem instead of a motor problem.
Ventilation works together with your cooking appliances. If your hood is paired with a range or cooktop that's also having trouble, see range repair or cooktop repair. For an over-the-range microwave with a failed fan, see microwave repair.

Possible Causes of Vent Hood Problems
A hood that won't run at all is often a failed switch or control board, a tripped thermal protector or a blower motor that has seized or burned out. Weak airflow points to a grease-clogged filter or blower wheel, a blocked or crushed duct or a stuck damper. Loud or vibrating operation is often a blower wheel that's loose or out of balance, or a worn motor bearing. Lights that fail may only need a new bulb or socket, or may point to a control problem.
