The most common cause of a loud noise from the range hood's motor is the presence of shipping tape on top of the damper flaps, preventing them from opening properly. To troubleshoot this issue, follow these steps:
1. Unplug the unit.
2. Remove the ductwork from the top of the hood.
3. Check if the damper flaps are stuck or obstructed by tape or debris. Pull on the damper flaps to ensure they move freely.
4. Remove the damper flaps one at a time and try spinning the fan manually with your hand or a long tool like a screwdriver.
5. If the issue persists, inspect the duct for any blockage or external dampers that may not be opening properly.
6. Check for any abnormal vibration while the range hood is in use, as it may indicate an unbalanced fan.
7. Unplug the unit.
8. Remove the screws on each motor cover to access the fan blades.
9. With gloves on, spin the fan blades manually to check for proper balance. They should spin smoothly without wobbling.
10. Ensure that the correct duct size is being used according to the installation manual's specifications. Using a smaller duct size can negatively affect suction power and increase noise levels.
11. If the grease filters are clogged or dirty, thoroughly clean or replace the baffle filters.
If the problem persists or you need further assistance, please contact support for additional troubleshooting or warranty-related replacement parts.
