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.
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 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.
Check to be sure the filters are clean. If off and on
cycling continues, call for service.
