Why does my Zephyr AK9246BS turn on by itself?
The switch controls on your Zephyr Ventilation Hood are light sensitive. A direct light source onto the switch controls may disrupt switch functions.
What to do if my Zephyr Ventilation Hood doesn't work after installation?
If your Zephyr Ventilation Hood doesn't work after installation, first ensure the circuit breaker and the unit's power are turned on. Check that the power line and cable locking connector are properly connected. Verify the wirings at the switch board and control board are correctly connected. If problems persist, the switch board or control board may be defective and require replacement. Also, make sure the wires on the control board are connected properly.
Why is my Zephyr Ventilation Hood not venting out properly?
If your Zephyr Ventilation Hood isn't venting properly, it could be due to several reasons. You might be using the wrong size of ducting, so consider changing to the correct size. The hood's height above the cooktop may be incorrect; adjust it to be between 24 and 36 inches. Also, wind from open windows or doors can affect ventilation, so close them to eliminate outside wind flow. Finally, check for any blockages in the duct opening or ductwork and remove them.
Why is the light not working on my Zephyr AK9246BS Ventilation Hood, but the blower is?
If the blower in your Zephyr Ventilation Hood is working but the lights are not, start by checking the LED light connector to ensure it's properly connected. If it is, the LED light itself might be defective and need replacement. Alternatively, the switch board or control board could be defective, requiring replacement.
What to do if the light works, but the blower is not turning on my Zephyr AK9246BS?
If the light works on your Zephyr Ventilation Hood, but the blower isn't turning, ensure the blower wire is securely plugged into the molex connector. If the system detects the blower is too hot, it might shut down temporarily; allow it to cool down. A damaged capacitor could also be the issue, requiring replacement. Check the blower molex plug pins for contact and reset if needed. If none of these solutions work, the blower itself may be defective and need to be replaced.
Why is my Zephyr Ventilation Hood vibrating?
If your Zephyr Ventilation Hood is vibrating, first ensure the blower is securely tightened in place. If the vibration continues, the blower wheel may be damaged and need replacement. Also, check the hood's installation to ensure it is properly secured.
How to fix a whistling Zephyr Ventilation Hood?
If your Zephyr Ventilation Hood is whistling, first adjust the filters until the whistling stops. Also, check the duct pipe connections to ensure they are sealed properly.
What to do if my Zephyr AK9246BS RF Remote control does not work?
If the RF remote control for your Zephyr Ventilation Hood isn't working, first replace the battery with type A23 12v. Ensure the remote control is within 15 ft of the liner. If problems persist, reset the liner and remote by switching the power off at the circuit breaker for 5 minutes, then place the remote on the counter top near the liner and switch the circuit breaker back on.
Why is the filter vibrating in my Zephyr AK9246BS?
If the filter in your Zephyr Ventilation Hood is vibrating, adjust or change the filter. If the spring clip on the filter is broken, change the spring clip.
