Viking DTWN42481 Tall Hood Service
At 42 inches wide, the DTWN42481 is a Designer Series tall traditional wall hood without a ledge, a size that suits a 36-inch range with a bit of overhang. The tall canopy makes the hood a feature of the wall, so owners expect it to keep working quietly.
We begin with the baffle filters and look for grease along the lower edge. Next the blower comes under inspection: we check the wheel for grease, the motor for a slow start, and the damper for a stuck flap. The lights and controls are tested last. The final test is a run at each speed with the lamps on, so you can hear and see the result.
The price is written down before work starts, and a 30-day workmanship warranty covers the repair.
About once a month for regular cooking, more often if you fry or grill indoors. A clean filter keeps the blower from straining. Heavy holiday cooking can justify an extra cleaning in between.
Yes, if the rest of the hood tests well. We confirm the blower works on a direct test first, then replace only the switch. Direct testing of the motor comes first, before any part is ordered.
Warm grease in a dirty filter or blower housing gives off a smell. Cleaning them removes the source. It also helps to open a window slightly if you cook with the hood on for long periods, since the hood pulls air from the room.
Book in about a minute, or call the desk. Same-day windows inside the Loop on most days, next-day across the rest of Houston.
