Know the home, know the fault
Properties on the Devon coast vary considerably in age and layout. Small terraced cottages built during or before the nineteenth century line the narrow streets near the harbour. Older terraces often have compact kitchens where an extractor hood is essential for removing steam and cooking odours. Larger kitchens might feature island extractors or wide chimney hoods, but all rely on a functioning motor to clear the air. When an extractor loses suction, the kitchen quickly fills with steam and grease. This is sometimes caused by saturated grease filters, but it can also point to a failing fan motor. Motors that vibrate or run loudly usually have worn bearings or an obstruction in the housing. If the fan will not run at all, the fault might lie with the control switch or the main circuit board. Lighting is another area that fails. When replacing a bulb does not restore the lights, the issue is likely a faulty switch, a blown transformer or damaged wiring inside the unit. When visiting homes in places like Higher Brixham, we look at extractor hoods with no suction, noisy fans or failed lights. We test fans that will not run, inspect noisy or vibrating motors and check lights and switches that have stopped working. We repair electric cooking appliances, though we do not work on gas hobs or gas cookers.

Call 01752 922765A vibrating noise usually means the fan motor is struggling. The motor bearings can wear out over time, causing the fan blade to become unbalanced. Sometimes, a build-up of grease on the blades or a loose component inside the housing creates the vibration. We inspect noisy motors to see what has failed.
Poor suction is frequently caused by blocked grease filters that need cleaning or replacing. If the filters are clear, the fan motor might be failing or the ducting could be obstructed.
If changing the bulbs does not help, the problem is likely electrical. Cooker hoods use switches, transformers and internal wiring to control the lighting. A failed light switch or a blown transformer will stop power reaching the bulbs. We test lights and switches that have failed to check the internal components.
