Possible Cause
A house fuse may be blown or a circuit
breaker tripped.
The blower connector is loose or not
plugged into its mating connector.
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
Control logic confused.
Replacing lights with bare hands.
Light wattage is too high.
What To Do
Replace fuse or reset circuit breaker.
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.
This hood requires 6" ducting to perform optimally.
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.
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.
Disconnect power to the hood by resetting the
circuit breaker. Wait 30 seconds to allow controls
to reset.
Replace lights while wearing gloves to keep skin
oils off lights.
Replace with correct wattage.
