Quick Fix vs. Call NorTech
| Issue | Quick Fix (Try This First) | Call a Pro BorTech When… |
|---|---|---|
| Loud or unusual noise | Check if filters are clogged, clean them, and tighten any visible screws. | If noise continues, motor or fan blade issues may require repair or replacement. |
| Weak smoke/odor removal | Wash or replace grease filters. Make sure ducting isn’t blocked. | If airflow is still poor, the blower motor, ductwork, or electrical system may need professional service. |
| Lights not working | Replace bulbs if accessible and check power connection. | If lights still fail, wiring, switches, or control boards may need repair. |
| Control buttons/touch panel unresponsive | Reset the hood by turning it off at the breaker for a few minutes. | Persistent issues with electronics require safe professional handling. |
| Burning smell or sparks | Do not attempt a fix — immediately turn off and unplug if safe. | Electrical hazard — requires immediate professional inspection. |
| Excessive grease buildup | Clean filters every 1–3 months with warm, soapy water. | If grease has spread into ducts or the motor housing, professional deep cleaning is necessary. |
| Considering ducted ↔ ductless change | N/A (conversion requires tools, parts, and compliance with codes). | Safe conversion should always be handled by certified technicians. |
Pro Tip: Clean filters regularly and schedule annual maintenance to keep airflow strong and energy costs low.
