Rangehood repairs at your place
A rangehood that will not run, roars on every setting or has lost its lights leaves the kitchen full of steam and smoke. Kobe comes to your home and gets it working again.
He repairs canopy, undermount, slide-out and island rangehoods across Brisbane Northside and the Redlands, including Miele, Fisher & Paykel, Electrolux and Bosch.
Most rangehood faults come down to the fan motor, the switches or the lights. Kobe tests each one and tells you what he finds before doing the work.

Common rangehood faults Kobe fixes
Fan won't start
A failed fan motor, a faulty switch or control board, or a power fault to the unit can stop the fan. Kobe tests them in order and replaces the part that has failed.
Weak extraction
Clogged grease filters are the most common cause, followed by a worn motor or a fan that has lost speed settings. Kobe checks the filters and the motor and sorts out what is causing it.
Loud, rattling or vibrating
A worn motor bearing, a loose fan wheel or a damaged mounting can make a rangehood noisy. Kobe finds the source and replaces the worn parts.
Lights not working
Usually a blown globe or LED, sometimes a failed light switch or transformer. Kobe tests the circuit and replaces the faulty part.
Buttons or speeds not responding
Push buttons and touch controls wear out and can be damaged by grease and heat. Kobe checks the control panel and replaces it where a part is available.
Quick checks before you book
These are safe to try and sometimes save you a call-out.
- Check the rangehood has power at the switch or power point, and the circuit breaker has not tripped.
- Take out the grease filters and check they are not clogged. Most metal filters can be washed.
- If the lights are out but the fan works, try a new globe first if your model allows it.
- Note the brand and model number, usually on a sticker behind the filters.

Questions people ask
Why is my rangehood not sucking properly?
Start with the grease filters, which clog over time and choke the airflow. If clean filters do not help, the motor may be worn. Kobe can check it.
Do you install new rangehoods or ducting?
No. Bluewaves repairs rangehoods but does not do installations or ducting work. Your retailer or a licensed electrician can install a new one.
Is it worth repairing a rangehood?
Often, if the fault is a motor, switch or light and the parts are available. Kobe will tell you what the repair involves before any work starts.
Do you come to my home?
Yes. Kobe repairs rangehoods at your place across Brisbane Northside and the Redlands.
