(469) 638-3215Range hood fan dead, weak suction, rattling or lights out? ALAS Appliance Repair fixes under-cabinet, wall, island, insert and pro-style vent hoods, including inline blowers, across Colleyville, from the Village at Colleyville and the SH 26 corridor to Montclair Parc, Ross Downs Estates and Whittier Heights.
Business Profile

Pro-style ranges in Colleyville kitchens usually sit under a powerful hood insert or a custom wood or plaster hood, and those systems move a lot of air. When a hood gets noisy, loses suction or stops responding to its controls, the cause is often the blower motor, a speed control, a light transformer or a stuck backdraft damper. Some estate homes use an inline or roof-mounted blower, which moves the motor out of the kitchen and into a hot attic or onto the roof.
Outdoor kitchens are a separate case. Homes in the Reserve at Colleyville and elsewhere include covered patios with built-in barbecues, and the hoods over them deal with smoke, heat and pollen. Heavy tree cover, like the canopy in Montclair Parc, also drops leaves into roof caps and exterior vent flaps. Clean baffle and mesh filters regularly and check that the exterior flap opens. Because hoods are hardwired, motor, switch and control replacements are best left to a technician.
Our Plano-based technicians cover Colleyville from the Village at Colleyville and the Colleyville Boulevard, Glade Road and Hall-Johnson Road corridors to Montclair Parc, Ross Downs Estates, Highland Meadows, Whittier Heights and the Reserve at Colleyville.
Common vent hood problems
The vent hood problems we see most often, and the parts a technician checks first for each one.

If the lights work but the fan doesn’t, the problem is in the fan circuit, not the power.Possible causes a technician checks: Failed blower motor, fan switch, keypad or control board, loose wiring, tripped breaker Schedule a diagnosis |

A humming hood with weak airflow often has a failing blower motor or capacitor, a stuck damper or a blocked exterior cap. Clean the filters first, then check outside to see whether the cap flap opens while the hood runs. If it does and airflow is still weak, the blower or its wiring likely needs testing by a technician.
Yes. Outdoor hoods take on grease and smoke from grills and griddles, plus dust and weather. Common problems include failed lights, sticky switches, rusted filters and weak blowers. Clean the baffle filters and check the breaker before calling. When you book, mention the brand and whether the blower is built into the hood or mounted remotely.
They can. Leaves and twigs collect in roof caps and wall vents, especially under large trees, and a blocked cap reduces airflow and may let the damper stick. Birds also nest in unused caps. If your hood suddenly gets weaker in fall, have the exterior cap checked and cleared. A technician can then confirm the blower and damper are working.
