VWH548481

Viking VWH548481 5 Series Hood

Most common issues on this model

  1. Heat sensor not responding
  2. Dimmer or LED trouble
  3. Heat lamps dark
  4. Reduced airflow

The VWH548481 is a current 48-inch 5 Series wall hood, 18 inches high, listed with heat lamps, dimmable lighting controls and a heat sensor. The LED bulbs are long-life and replaceable by the owner, while the heat lamp bulbs are not included and are purchased locally.

It is made for a 48-inch range, so it covers the whole cooking line in a kitchen with a 5 Series range. We start our service by testing the heat sensor and the lights, which are the features owners use most. We then clean the filters and examine the blower wheel and motor, test each speed, and look at the damper. Because the hood is wide, uneven filter loading is something we check for.

You get a written price before work begins, and the repair carries a 30-day workmanship warranty.

VWH548481VWH548481 questions
Why would the heat sensor ignore a hot pan?

The sensor may be shielded by grease, or the wiring may have loosened. We clean around it, test its output, and trace the wiring before replacing parts.

Can I replace the LED bulbs myself?

They are described as replaceable by the owner. Turn the power off and let them cool, and call us if a new bulb does not help.

Why does one side of the hood draw less?

Filters on that side may carry more grease, or the blower may sit nearer the other end. Cleaning all the filters evenly usually helps. If the same side keeps loading with grease, we mention it so you can clean it more often.
