Technician servicing a kitchen range hood exhaust fan in Las Vegas

Range Hood and Kitchen Exhaust Fan Repair in Las Vegas and Henderson

A range hood fan that won't run usually has a burned-out motor, a faulty switch, damaged wiring or a failed control board. Weak venting is most often grease-clogged filters, a blocked duct or a damaged blower; a loud hood usually has worn bearings or a damaged blower wheel. Red Rock Appliance Services repairs range hoods and downdraft fans of all brands in Las Vegas and Henderson. We repair motors, fans and controls; we don't do hood or duct cleaning.

What a range hood does

A range hood (also called an exhaust hood, vent hood or cooker hood) removes smoke, grease, steam, heat and odors while you cook. It's made up of an exhaust fan motor, grease filters, switches or electronic controls, ducting to the outside and lights. When any of them fails, smoke and grease stay in the kitchen.

How we repair range hoods

We test the electrical circuits, fan motor, switches and control board, then make the repair: fan motor replacement, switch replacement, blower wheel repair, lighting circuit repair or wiring repair.

Range hoods in Las Vegas and Henderson

Kitchen heat and grease put extra strain on exhaust fans here. Washing the metal filters regularly and fixing a weak or noisy fan early keeps smoke and odors out of the house.

Frequently asked questions

Why is my range hood fan not working?

Usually a failed fan motor, a defective switch, wiring damage or a control board problem.

Why is my range hood so loud?

Worn fan bearings, loose blades or a damaged blower wheel or motor.

Do range hood motors wear out?

Yes. Grease build-up and heavy use wear out fan motors over time.

Do you clean range hoods and ducts?

No. We repair motors, fans, lights and controls; hood and duct cleaning is a separate service.
