Range Hood Cycle Not Completing

Use only checks that match the exact appliance or system and its official guide.

1. Check 1

   Stop cooking and observe whether the fan is high while the area is still hot.

   Expected result: Fan slows/stops as area cools or remains high after cooling.

   Next step: Allow cooling and monitor once; isolate power safely and arrange service if it remains on.

   Stop if: Stop if there is a safety hazard or internal access would be required.

   Why this matters

   Why: The first pattern can be normal Heat Sentry; persistence suggests sensor/control/motor trouble.

2. Check 2

   Check for selected delay/timer and whether the documented off/cancel control changes the fan.

   Expected result: Delay clears or controls do not respond.

   Next step: Use exact manual for timer cancellation; service if controls fail.

   Stop if: Stop if there is a safety hazard or internal access would be required.

   Why this matters

   Why: A timer can explain a finite cycle; unresponsive controls indicate control/electrical fault.

3. Check 3

   After power is off and hood is cool, inspect grease filters/intake for heavy buildup.

   Expected result: Filters loaded or clear but cycle continues.

   Next step: Clean as manual allows; do not add an external fan.

   Stop if: Stop if there is a safety hazard or internal access would be required.

   Why this matters

   Why: Buildup can affect airflow/heat response; clear hood with persistent operation needs diagnosis.

4. Check 4

   Record whether fan runs continuously, grinds, trips power, or smells hot during one controlled observation.

   Expected result: Any abnormal noise/odor/trip occurs.

   Next step: Stop use and arrange qualified hood/electrical service.

   Stop if: Stop if there is a safety hazard or internal access would be required.

   Why this matters

   Why: The combined pattern exceeds normal heat response.
