Retractable Downdraft Vent Hood Fan not Operating

Whirlpool Retractable Downdraft Vent Hood Fan not Operating

Are the Controls Set Correctly?

Refer to the Owner's Manual for specific information on setting the controls.

Have the Grease Filters Been Cleaned or Replaced Recently?

If the retractable downdraft vent does not operate after clean filters have been installed: 

Push the filter in as far as it will go. When the filter is removed, the microswitch behind it is deactivated. This feature will not allow the vent system to operate until the filter is properly installed.

Visit Clean and Replace the Grease Filters in a Downdraft Vent Hood for additional information.

Have you reset the power?

  • Power the vent hood down by turning off the circuit breaker(s) for one (1) minute.
  • Power the vent hood up by turning on the circuit breaker(s).
  • Verify the vent hood operates.
