VWH560481

Viking VWH560481 5 Series Hood

Most common issues on this model

  1. Heat sensor not boosting power
  2. Lighting controls unresponsive
  3. Heat lamps out
  4. Weak airflow along the canopy

Sixty inches wide and 18 inches high, the VWH560481 is a current 5 Series wall hood and the widest in this part of the family. It has heat lamps, dimmable lighting controls with replaceable long-life LED bulbs, and a heat sensor that raises ventilator power when temperatures climb.

A hood of this width normally sits above a 60-inch range or a range and a grill, so uneven airflow is the first thing we look for. We clean every filter, check the blower wheel and motor, and test each speed. The heat sensor, the dimmer, the LED bulbs and the heat lamps are all tested. Heat lamp bulbs are bought locally, so we check the sockets and the bulbs you already have.

We provide a written price before starting, and the repair has a 30-day workmanship warranty.

VWH560481VWH560481 questions
Is the 18-inch height a limit for a 60-inch hood?

The height describes the chimney body. The width is what matters for covering a large cooking line, and a clean blower keeps it effective. Wider canopies simply need more clean width of filter to draw evenly.

Why would only the heat lamps fail?

They use separate bulbs and sockets, so a single burned-out bulb is common. If a new bulb stays dark, we test the socket and the switch.

How do you work on a very wide hood?

We protect the range, support the hood where needed and open it from below. The hood stays on the wall. Everything else is left as it is, and the stainless is covered during the visit.
