"Where can I find them? Are there parts on the market that suit my needs?" These are the most common questions for those needing to replace parts of their kitchen hood.

It is possible to find the right replacement parts, even for older models, ensuring the continued use of an appliance that, while old, still does its job well. How? Keep reading to find out.

Would you like to know the most common issues and how to deal with them? Here’s a brief list below:

  1. Clogged or worn filters: These need to be replaced to ensure efficient extraction. Always consider the distinction between standard filters and activated carbon filters. Grease filters, if not excessively dirty, can be washed and reinstalled in the hood, while standard grease filters should be replaced.
  2. Defective fan: This reduces the efficiency of extraction. You may notice this through excessive noise produced by your hood.
  3. Faulty lighting system: This compromises visibility during cooking. It’s advisable to replace halogen lights or LED bulbs.
  4. Excessive noise: This could indicate a problem with the motor or the non-return valve. In this case, it’s best to contact customer support.

For every problem, there is an appropriate solution, so don’t despair—rely on professionals who care about the health of your kitchen hood.
