Essential FAQs for Efficient Cooker Hood Repair Services

Loud cooker hood noises are usually caused by loose parts, debris in the fan, or a faulty motor.

Tighten loose parts, or call a professional repairs technician for the motor.

If the lights are not working, the bulbs may be burnt out, the socket is faulty, or there is a problem with the wires. Replace the bulbs and /or the socket to see if they are the ones causing the issue, otherwise contact a specialist to fix the wiring.

Grease filters should be cleaned monthly, while charcoal filters should be replaced every 3-6 months as a general rule, but it also depends on how often the cooker hood is in use, and also how often you cook.
