Ikea Range vent hood turns off by itself

An Ikea range vent hood turns off by itself, restricted airflow is the most likely cause. Grease-filled or clogged filters can make the blower work harder, overheat, and shut down. Clean or replace the range hood filters, then check the wall vent cap and duct for an obstruction such as a bird's nest or debris. If airflow is good but the hood still stops, inspect the blower wheel and housing. The wheel should turn freely by hand. A blower wheel that binds, or a hood that runs for a while before shutting off, can point to an overheating or failing blower motor. A worn exhaust fan motor, fan motor, or blower motor may also have damaged windings or bearings, especially if the motor has power but keeps stopping. Disconnect power before inspecting internal parts, and have a qualified professional check inaccessible ductwork or electrical components. Enter your IKEA range vent hood model number to find the exact replacement filter, wall vent cap, blower wheel and housing, exhaust fan motor, fan motor, or blower motor for your specific appliance.

01 - Ikea 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 - Ikea 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.
