KitchenAid KXW2336Y Architect Hood Fix
Architect Series II hoods such as the KXW2336Y are made to hang on the wall over a 36-inch range, usually in a kitchen where the cooktop sits against an outside wall. The KXW2336Y, also sold as the KXW2336YSS, carries a 400 CFM internal blower behind its chimney cover.
After a few years, the common story is a hood that got louder and weaker at the same time. The blower wheel picks up a film of grease, the speed control wears, and the lights go dark one by one. We start by cleaning access areas, running every speed, listening for a rubbing wheel and checking that the outside vent flap opens fully.
Pricing is written before we begin, and our work comes with a 30-day workmanship warranty.
Grease on the blower wheel throws it off balance, and a worn motor bearing adds a grinding sound. We inspect both, along with the mounting screws, because a loose housing can also amplify normal fan noise.
The vent matters as much as the fan. A hood with a 400 CFM blower exhausts through ductwork, and a stuck or dirty damper at the outside wall restricts air. We confirm the damper opens when the fan runs.
Yes. We check the lamp type, the socket and the wiring that feeds it. If the socket is scorched from heat we replace it, since a new bulb alone will burn out again.
