    What to do if KOBE Brillia lights and motors don't work after installation?
    • J
      Jessica CaldwellAug 15, 2025
      If, after installation, the lights and motors on your KOBE Ventilation Hood aren't working, there could be several reasons. First, ensure the circuit breaker and the unit's power are turned on, and use a voltage meter to check the power supply. Also, check and tighten the wire connections. If these steps don't resolve the issue, the processor board or control panel might be defective and need replacement. Check the power input and output on the processor board to determine if a replacement is needed.

    Why is my KOBE Ventilation Hood not venting out correctly?
    • H
      Hannah BrownAug 18, 2025
      If your KOBE Ventilation Hood isn't venting correctly, several factors could be the cause. First, ensure the clearance between the hood and cooktop is within the recommended range of 27” to 30” (or 30” to 36” for island hoods). Insufficient make-up air in the house can also be a problem; try opening a window to improve performance. Finally, check for and remove any obstacles in the duct work, and ensure the ducting matches the manufacturer's suggested size.

      Harold AguilarAug 21, 2025
      If the lights on your KOBE Ventilation Hood are working, but the motor isn't, the motor itself may be defective and require replacement. Another potential cause is a defective capacitor, which would also need to be replaced. Lastly, the control panel might be defective, requiring its replacement.

      Bradley SmithAug 26, 2025
      If the motor in your KOBE Ventilation Hood is working, but the lights are not, the LED(s) may be defective and need to be replaced. Also, check the wire continuity from the light transformer to the light housing(s) as the light wiring(s) could be loose. A defective light driver may also be the cause, so check its power input and output and replace if necessary. Finally, the control panel might be defective, requiring replacement.

    Why is my KOBE Brillia vibrating?
    • M
      Michelle WagnerAug 28, 2025
      If your KOBE Ventilation Hood is vibrating, it could be due to a few reasons. Check that the blower system is secure by tightening the squirrel cage and air chamber. If that doesn't solve the problem, the squirrel cage might be unbalanced and need replacement. Lastly, ensure the hood is securely mounted by checking the installation and tightening the mounting bracket.

    How to stop cold air coming from KOBE Brillia?
    • J
      Joseph AlvarezAug 31, 2025
      If cold air is entering your home through the KOBE Ventilation Hood, it may be because the pipe connection isn't properly sealed; check the pipe installation. Another reason might be that the damper is either improperly installed or missing. Check the damper installation, and consider installing one, as it helps eliminate air backflow.

      If the motor is working but the lights aren't, the LED light fixture(s) may be defective and need replacing. Check the wire continuity from the Control Panel to the LED Driver to the LED light fixture(s) for any loose connections. It is also possible that the control panel is defective and needs to be replaced.

      Catherine BatesSep 12, 2025
      Cold air coming into the home suggests that the pipe connection is not properly sealed, so check the pipe installation. It could also mean that the damper is not properly installed or is missing; check the damper installation. Installing the damper will help eliminate air backflow.
