Range Hood Repair in Houston
Whirlpool range hoods and vent hoods can lose suction, rattle, leave the lights off or stop responding to the controls. We check the blower, switches and ductwork before suggesting parts.

Whirlpool range hoods include under-cabinet, wall-mount and island styles, along with the hood function of an over-the-range microwave. They move air with a blower motor and wheel, through a filter and a duct to the outside, or through a charcoal filter on recirculating models.
Houston cooking and humidity coat the blower and filters with grease, which unbalances the wheel and loads the motor. Ducts that run through attics can crush, disconnect or leak, and wet weather or condensation can rust the damper. A weak hood also leaves cooking steam in the kitchen.
We check the filters, duct run, damper, blower wheel, motor and controls, then the light circuit. Where an older hood is worn out or does not suit the cooktop beneath it, we say so, so you can choose between repair and replacement.

Why is my range hood not pulling air?
Grease-clogged filters, a damaged or disconnected duct, a blower wheel that has slipped or a motor that is wearing out can all reduce suction. We check the filters and duct first. A recirculating hood with a spent charcoal filter will also pull weakly.
How often should hood filters be cleaned?
Metal mesh filters should be washed about once a month if you cook often, using hot soapy water or the dishwasher. Grease left on the filter slows the air and adds a fire risk. Charcoal filters on recirculating hoods are replaced, not washed.
Why does the hood light not work after a new bulb?
The socket, a wire or the switch may have failed, or the bulb type may be wrong for the fixture. Some hoods use special low-voltage lamps. We check the socket and switch before replacing the control.
