KitchenAid KXI4336Y Island Hood Service
A KXI4336Y is an Architect series II island mount canopy hood from KitchenAid, 36 inches wide, with a 600 CFM internal blower. Also sold as KXI4336YSS.
The stronger blower moves more air than the 400 CFM sibling, so grease and imbalance appear as noise before they show as weak suction. We check the wheel and motor, filters, control and lamps, and watch the damper while the blower runs. You are told the price in writing first, and a 30-day workmanship warranty follows.
When the hood is high above an island, small noises seem louder, because there is no wall to absorb them. Pointing us to where the sound seems to come from saves time on the visit. Any replacement part is checked against your model first.
A grease-coated or loose wheel is the usual reason, since 600 CFM spins it fast. We clean the wheel, tighten the set screw and test the motor to be sure.
Yes. We test it, confirm the failure and quote the part and labor in writing before we install it. We also check the wiring to the blower while it is open.
We free or replace it. A closed damper chokes even a strong blower, so we always watch it open with the fan running before we call the job finished.
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.
