Viking VWH3678T1 36-Inch Outdoor Hood
The VWH3678T1 is a retired 36-inch outdoor wall hood, 18 inches high, with a weatherproof housing and motor, baffle grease filters and multi-speed control. It was made for an outdoor kitchen, where rain, humidity and salt air work on it every day.
Outdoors, wear usually starts with moisture. We check the motor for corrosion, the wiring for green copper, the speed switch for water intrusion and the lamp sockets for rust. Insects like to nest inside outdoor ducts, so we inspect the duct and the exterior cap for blockage, which is a common reason for overheat protection to trip.
Baffles are cleaned, and the blower wheel is checked for balance. Because this hood is retired, we verify part sources first. You see the written price first. A 30-day workmanship warranty applies to our work.
Humidity and rain reach the motor and wiring over time, even with a weatherproof housing. We inspect for corrosion and replace damaged parts. Replacing the motor early prevents a failure during a party.
Yes. Wasps and birds nest in ducts and caps. A blocked duct overloads the motor, so we clear it and check the damper. Screening the cap helps stop birds returning.
A cover helps when the grill is idle, as long as the hood is cool and the cover lets air circulate to prevent trapped moisture. Do not trap moisture under a cover on a damp evening.
