Is This the Right Part?

Common Symptoms

• Blower system does not work while the control panel is lit.
• Control panel is not lit and the hood appears inoperative.
• Blower system shuts off after four hours of continuous operation; this is documented as normal automatic shutoff behavior.
• Reduced ventilation can occur if filters are blocked or grease-laden.

Check Before Replacing

• Verify that the main power switch behind the filter is switched on and that the control panel is lit.
• If the blower does not operate with the control panel lit, the manual directs the owner to call for service rather than identifying a user-serviceable diagnosis.
• Inspect the filter system for blockage or heavy grease buildup; do not operate the hood without the filter(s) installed.
• Confirm whether an apparent automatic shutdown occurred after four hours of continuous blower operation.
