KitchenAid KXW4336Y 600 CFM Hood Service

Over a 36-inch cooking surface, the KXW4336Y gives you a 600 CFM internal blower and four touch-controlled speeds. This Architect Series II wall hood is also sold as the KXW4336YSS. Its chimney cover conceals the duct, so many owners never think about the vent until the hood stops pulling well.
When we visit a hood this size we check the touch panel for a worn button area, the blower for a greasy wheel, the filters for packed grease and the duct damper for a stuck flap. A whine at the top speed usually means a motor bearing is going or the wheel is out of balance. If the panel acts up only after heavy cooking, steam and grease on the electronics are often involved.
The price is in writing before we start, and the repair has a 30-day workmanship warranty.
Lift them out, soak in hot water with degreasing dish soap, rinse and dry fully. Doing this every month or two keeps the 600 CFM blower from working against a blocked path.
Yes. Steam and grease vapor can reach the control and cause erratic response. We open the panel, look for residue or corrosion on the contacts and test the board before replacing it.
A stronger blower moves more air, so grease can collect faster on the wheel and in the duct. Regular cleaning is the best protection, and we check both during every visit.
