Range Hood Repair
Wolf hoods, inserts and remote blowers — motors, speed controls, baffles, lighting, roof caps and the duct run itself.
On the phone
What people describe when they ring about this
- Fan runs but the smoke still hangs over the cooktop
- Hood cuts out part way through frying
- Cooking smells drift back into the kitchen hours later
- Blower roars or rattles once it reaches the top speed
Measured first, before any part is named
A hood that runs is not the same as a hood that pulls. Nearly every "the fan works but the smoke stays" call comes down to the path the air takes after it leaves the blower: a baffle in backwards, a cap flap that has lost its spring, or a duct joint that has come apart in a soffit.
- Airflow at the baffles first and then at the duct, so a blockage is separated from a motor problem.
- The roof or wall cap. A flap that no longer opens shuts the whole system down, and on a windy day it can push the smoke back at you.
- Blower bearings and mounts — a rumble is normally the bearing, a rattle is normally the mount, and both are worse when the blower sits in an attic.
- Speed control and the switch behind the fascia when only one speed answers.
- Duct joints in the soffit or the attic run, for cooking smells that drift back into the room hours later.
What it costs
What a range hood repair usually comes to
The visit is a flat $89 — travelling out, plus the whole diagnosis — and it comes off the repair bill the moment you say go ahead.
The figure for parts and labour is agreed with you before the work starts — once the fault is known and before anything is dismantled or ordered. The service call then comes off that figure as soon as you approve it. A band is where a job of this kind lands; the number you are given is the number you pay.
- Igniter or spark module the gas half of a dual fuel range, when a burner ticks and ticks before it catches $180 to $470
- Burner valve or orifice service a simmer that will not sit low, or a flame that has never been matched to this elevation $240 to $560
- Oven thermostat or sensor calibration a cavity that bakes to the wrong number however long you give it $210 to $460
- Convection fan or motor a fan that howls, rattles or falls silent while the cavity still heats $300 to $650
- Control board or touch panel a panel that has gone dark, frozen or deaf to the pads after a power cut $470 to $910
- Door hinge, glass or seal a door that sits proud, drops open, or lets heat out over the top $270 to $700
One comparison, made once and then dropped: putting in a comparable professional range, before installation and ventilation work costs $7,570 to $18,460. Every band on that ladder sits a very long way underneath it, and that gap is the whole argument for having somebody look at the fault first.

Ours has the blower up in the attic and it had got loud enough to hear in the bedroom above. A worn bearing, changed and strapped down properly.
Emmeline F.Hilltop
Our insert kept cutting out after ten minutes of frying. The motor was overheating behind filters nobody had ever washed properly. He stripped and cleaned it, showed me how the baffles come apart, and left the liner better than it has been in years.
Vivian H.Baker
Grease had started dripping off the underside onto the burners. The trough was overflowing and one baffle sat in its channel the wrong way around. He cleaned the whole liner and set them right.
