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.
What To Do
Replace fuse or reset circuit breaker.
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.
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.
