KitchenAid KHTU105R Commercial Style Hood
The KHTU105R is a 30-inch Commercial Style range hood, also sold as the KHTU105RSS. It is made to sit above a 30-inch range or cooktop, and its look tends to go with a heavier-duty cooking line, so it often sees heavy use.
Grease is the main enemy of any hood, and a heavier-duty cooking line produces plenty of it. It packs the filters, coats the blower wheel and unbalances it, and carries into the duct. A rattle at speed or a motor that strains is usually that. We clean or replace the filters, wash the wheel, and check the bearing for play. The speed control and lights come after, with each switch position tested.
We give a written price before ordering anything, and a 30-day workmanship warranty follows the work.
Maybe not. A bearing that is stiff with grease can stall the wheel. We clean the wheel and shaft and test the motor. If it still drags, we replace the blower motor.
Expect steady airflow noise at higher speeds. A rattle, squeal or scraping sound is different and means an unbalanced wheel or a dry bearing, and we inspect both on the first visit.
They are usually separate circuits. The light can work while a worn speed switch fails. We test the switch on each position before replacing the control.
