Gaggenau Range vent hood turns off by itself
When a Gaggenau range vent hood turns off by itself, start with the filter. A clogged range vent hood filter restricts airflow, forcing the blower motor to work harder, overheat, and shut down. Clean or replace the filter before testing the hood again. Next, check the wall vent cap and duct for an obstruction such as a bird's nest or debris. Poor airflow can also cause the motor to overheat. If the Gaggenau range vent hood still keeps shutting off while it has power, inspect the blower wheel and housing. The wheel should turn freely by hand. A seized or restricted wheel can point to a failing blower motor. If the blade turns freely but the hood shuts off after running for a while, the exhaust fan motor, fan motor, or blower motor may have worn windings or bearings and may need replacement. Disconnect power before servicing the hood, and enter your model number to find the exact Gaggenau range vent hood filter, wall vent cap, blower wheel, or motor for your specific appliance.
01 - Gaggenau Range Vent Hood Filter
The filters in the range hood need to be clean to have good air flow. If the filters are clogged the blower will have a hard time moving air, causing the motor to overheat, and shut off. Inspect the filters and clean or replace them if necessary.

02 - Gaggenau Range Vent Hood Wall Vent Cap for 6 Inch Duct
If the vent hood motor keeps shutting off the venting may be obstructed. If accessible, check the outside vent cap for a bird's nest, etc. Turn the vent hood on and check for good air flow at the inlet and outlet. If you suspect the vent is clogged, but you cannot access it, you should have someone check it for you.
