Troubleshooting tips ... Before you call for service

TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS

Save time and money! Review the charts on the following pages first and you may not need to call for service.

Problem Possible Cause What To Do

Fan/Light does not operate

when either button is

pressed

A house fuse may be blown or

a circuit breaker tripped.

Replace fuse or reset circuit breaker.

Fan does not operate when

fan Lo, Med, Hi buttons are

pressed

The blower connector is loose

or not plugged into its mating

connector.

Disconnect power to the unit. Remove the filters and

look up at the blower. If the blower connector plug is

loose or you see the connector dangling, the installer

failed to plug it in securely. See the mini manual for the

plug location and how to plug in the connector.

Loud or abnormal airflow

noise

Wrong duct size used in

installation.

Using smaller duct pipe will cause reduced venting.

Minimize the duct run length and number of transitions

and elbows. GE service technicians cannot correct this

issue if installed improperly.

Fan fails to circulate

air or moves air slower

than normal and/or fan is

making loud or abnormal

airflow noise

Obstructions in duct work. Make sure nothing is blocking the vent. Make sure your

wall or roof cap has a blade or door.

Damper blade on wall or roof

cap may not be open.

Make sure damper swings freely. Damper blades may

flip over and will not fully open when this happens.

Adjust to original position.

Metal grease filter and charcoal

filter (if present) may be dirty.

Clean the metal grease filter and replace charcoal filter

(if present). See Care and Cleaning of the Vent Hood.

Insufficient makeup

(replacement) air

Sufficient makeup (replacement) air is required for

exhausting appliances to operate to rating. Check with

local building codes, which may require or strongly

advise the use of makeup air. Visit GEAppliances.com

for available makeup air solutions.

The hood controls are not

operating correctly

Control logic confused. Disconnect power to the hood by resetting the circuit

breaker. Wait 30 seconds to allow controls to reset.

Early light failure Light wattage is too high. Replace with correct wattage.

Fan continually cycles off

and on

The motor is probably

overheating and turning

itself off. This can be harmful

to the motor. Filter may be

excessively soiled.

Clean the metal grease filter and replace charcoal filter

(if present). See Care and Cleaning of the Vent Hood.
