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.
The motor is probably overheating and
turning itself off. This can be harmful to
the motor.
Router issues, no wireless signal, etc.
Hood is not connected.
What To Do
Replace fuse or reset circuit breaker.
This hood requires 8" ducting or 10" ducting depending
on model 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.
Check to be sure the filters are clean. If off and on
cycling continues, call for service.
