29-6325
Possible Cause
A house fuse may be blown or a circuit
breaker tripped.
Wrong duct size used in installation.
Obstructions in duct work.
Damper blade on wall or roof cap may
not be open.
Metal grease filter and charcoal filter
(if present) may be dirty.
Insufficient makeup (replacement) air
Light wattage is too high.
This is normal.
The motor is probably overheating and
turning itself off. This can be harmful to
the motor.
Wrong bulbs are used. Must use GU10
compatible dimmable bulbs.
No grease captured in the drip trays
Router issues, no wireless signal, etc.
Hood is not connected.
What To Do
Replace fuse or reset circuit breaker.
This hood requires 8" ducting to perform optimally.
Using smaller duct pipe will cause reduced venting.
Minimize the duct run length and number of transitions
and elbows. GE Appliances service technicians cannot
correct this issue if installed improperly.
Make sure nothing is blocking the vent. Make sure
your wall or roof cap has a blade or door.
Make sure damper swings freely. Damper blades may
flip over and will not fully open when this happens.
Adjust to original position.
Clean the metal grease filter and replace charcoal filter
(if present). See Care and Cleaning of the Vent Hood.
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.
Replace with correct wattage.
The sensor feature will automatically turn the fan on if
cooking temperature becomes too hot. The fan will then
turn off when temperatures cool to an appropriate level.
Check to be sure the filters are clean. If off and on
cycling continues, call for service.
Visit GEAppliances.com for replacement bulbs.
Install the baffles properly making sure the arrows on
the sides of the baffles are pointing towards the front of
the unit so that the grease openings on the bottom of
the baffles are inserted in the drip trays, see the Filters
section.
