KitchenAid KXW4436Y Chimney Hood Repair
Look at a KXW4436Y and you see a 36-inch wall hood with a chimney cover; inside is a 600 CFM blower driven through a 4-speed touch control. The KXW4436YSS is the same hood under another number. This size is common over a wider range or a cooktop and oven pair set into a feature wall.
As the hood ages, the first thing owners notice is noise, then a control that needs two presses. We inspect the blower for dirt on the wheel, test each speed and check the connection behind the touch panel. We also look at the lamp sockets, because heat from repeated bulb changes can discolor them and shorten bulb life.
You get a written price before work begins, with a 30-day workmanship warranty on our repair.
Often the socket is heat-damaged and makes poor contact, or the wrong bulb type is in use. We check the socket and fit the correct lamp so the new one lasts.
Many touch panels operate both the fan speeds and the lights. If one function fails and the other works, the cause is often in the panel or a single output, and we test each separately.
At least once a year. Grease can glue a damper shut or hold it partly open. We watch it open and close with the fan running and clean it if it hangs.
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.
