Servicing the Bertazzoni KCH36XV Chimney Hood
For a 36-inch range, the KCH36XV chimney hood offers a single motor with 600 CFM maximum extraction and a rated sound range of 1.2 to 8.0 Sones. It belongs to the Master Series and Professional Series line-up, and it is wide enough that the filters and lights need regular attention.
We begin with the filters, then run the motor at each speed and judge the sound against the rated range. The lights and switch are tested, and we look at the duct and damper. If the wheel is coated with grease it is cleaned and checked for balance. You get a written price before work starts, and our 30-day workmanship warranty applies to the repair.
Please let us know if the filters have been cleaned recently and whether the noise changes between speeds. Both facts speed up the diagnosis.
This hood uses one motor for 36 inches, so filters and ducting have to be in good shape for it to perform. We check them first, because restriction is more common than motor failure.
A loose chimney section, an unbalanced wheel or a worn motor mount. We tighten what is loose and balance or replace the wheel when it is out of true.
A middle speed handles most cooking, and the top speed is for searing or heavy steam. If the top speed sounds rough compared with the rated range, have the blower checked.
Book in about a minute, or call the desk. Same-day windows inside the Loop on most days, next-day across the rest of Houston.
