Answer to continue safely
Is it safe to keep using?
Maybe.
Can I reset the code?
Yes.
When to stop immediately?
Stop if you notice: Stop cooking if you notice the hood fan motor is overheating or producing a burning smell due to working against the blockage, Do not continue to use the hood for frying or high-heat cooking if smoke is visibly not being captured.
When to Call a Professional
Contact a qualified technician if:
- Airflow does not improve after thorough filter cleaning, indicating the blockage is deeper in the ductwork
- The exterior vent cap shows little or no air movement when the fan is running at maximum speed
- The ductwork has excessive length, multiple bends, or was reduced in diameter during installation, all of which restrict airflow
