Know the home, know the fault
Holiday homes have been part of the local landscape since the eighteenth century. In properties used intermittently by guests, extractor hoods might sit idle for weeks before seeing heavy use. A kitchen extractor needs to clear steam and cooking odours effectively, whether it is installed in a period property or a modern apartment. Extractor hoods develop a few specific faults over time. A fan that will not run or has lost suction is a typical issue, sometimes caused by a failing motor or a blocked grease filter restricting the airflow. When a motor becomes noisy or starts vibrating, the bearings might be wearing out or the fan blades could be unbalanced by a build-up of cooking residue. Lights and switches that have failed are also standard repairs, as the control boards and bulb holders are exposed to heat and moisture from the hob below. Keeping grease filters clean helps maintain the suction and reduces the strain on the internal components. When visiting to look at a faulty extractor, we check fans that have lost suction, investigate noisy or vibrating motors, and replace lights and switches that have failed. Please note that we only repair electric cooking appliances and do not work on gas cookers, gas hobs or any gas appliance.

Call 01752 922765A vibrating noise usually points to an issue with the extractor fan motor or the fan blades. Over time, cooking grease can build up unevenly on the blades, throwing them off balance and causing a vibration. Alternatively, the motor bearings might be wearing out. We can inspect the motor and blades to identify the source of the vibration.
When replacing the bulbs does not fix the issue, the fault is likely within the light switch, the bulb holders, or the internal control board. These components sit directly above the hob, making them vulnerable to heat and moisture damage over time. An engineer can test the electrical connections to see which part has failed.
Poor suction is frequently caused by saturated grease filters blocking the airflow. If the filters are clean but the suction remains weak, the motor might be failing and running at a reduced speed, or there could be an issue with the external venting duct. We look at fans that have lost suction to determine the underlying problem.
