How to troubleshoot a Westinghouse Ventilation Hood that does not operate?
If your Westinghouse Ventilation Hood isn't turning on, there are a few things you can check: * Make sure the power supply cable and all electrical wiring are properly connected. * Confirm that the power is turned on at the junction box or circuit breaker. * Verify that the wiring between the switch control and the control board are connected properly.
Why is my Westinghouse Ventilation Hood not venting properly?
If your Westinghouse Ventilation Hood isn't venting properly, consider these checks: * Ensure no birds or animals have nested in the duct. * Verify the distance between the cooktop and the hood's bottom is between 458 mm (18 in) and 710 mm (28 in). * Confirm ductwork follows all requirements, using round metal ductwork with a uniform diameter of 177 mm (7 in), and that the ductwork doesn't exceed 35 ft (10.7 m). Reduce ductwork length and elbow count if needed, and ensure all joints are properly connected, sealed, and taped. * Check that the duct does not open against the wind. * Use high speed for heavy cooking. * Close nearby windows to prevent air gusts. * Open a window on the opposite side of the house from where the hood vents outdoors to improve performance.
What to do if my Westinghouse Ventilation Hood vibrates when the fan is operating?
If your Westinghouse Ventilation Hood vibrates when the fan is running, try these solutions: * Ensure the range hood is properly secured and tighten if necessary. * Check that the motor is secured in place and tighten it if needed. * Inspect the fan for damage; replace it if damaged.
Why is the fan on my Westinghouse Ventilation Hood not spinning, stuck, or rattling?
If the lights on your Westinghouse Ventilation Hood are working, but the fan isn't spinning, is stuck, or is rattling, here's what you can do: * If the motor is too hot, the thermal protection system might have shut it down. Wait approximately 10 minutes for it to cool down. * Check if the fan is jammed or scraping the bottom. * If these steps don't work, the motor may be defective and need replacement.
Why do the fans on my Westinghouse Ventilation Hood seem weak?
If the fans on your Westinghouse Ventilation Hood seem weak, consider the following: * Ensure the duct size is at least 177 mm (7 in) round, as insufficient duct size reduces efficiency. * Check the duct for clogs and ensure any mesh on the wall cap isn't restricting airflow. * Verify the damper unit is opening properly. * Inspect the duct for any bird or animal nests.
How to fix a light that does not work on my Westinghouse Ventilation Hood?
If a light on your Westinghouse Ventilation Hood isn't working: * Replace the bulb if it's burnt out. * Ensure the bulb is tightened. * Test the light assembly by using a light bulb that you know is working. If the properly functioning light does not come on, the problem may be the light assembly. Have the light assembly serviced or replaced .
