KitchenAid KHTU100K Hood Repair
The KHTU100K, also sold as the KHTU100KBL and KHTU100KSS, is a range hood that has not been sold new for years. It hangs above the cooking surface, which makes it a heavy user of its own filters and blower.
Calls on this hood split into four areas. The blower can squeal or drag when its bearings dry out. The filters clog and choke airflow. A speed switch can wear on a single setting. The light socket can corrode and kill bulbs. We check them in that order, because clogged filters can imitate a failing blower and save you a larger repair.
Hoods are easy to underestimate, but a weak blower leaves cooking vapor and grease in the kitchen. We quote a written price before working and back the repair with a 30-day workmanship warranty.
Check the filters first. Clogged grease filters cut airflow in a way that feels like a weak motor. If clean filters do not help, we test the blower speed and wheel.
Metal mesh filters usually can go in a dishwasher, though it may dull the finish. A hot soapy soak works well too. Dry them fully before putting them back.
The low speed contact may be worn, or the motor winding for that speed has failed. We test the switch and the motor windings to find which one it is.
