Dacor Range vent hood turns off by itself
If your Dacor range vent hood turns off by itself, restricted airflow is the most likely cause. Start by checking the vent hood filters. Grease and debris can clog the filters, make the blower work harder, and cause the motor to overheat and shut off. Clean or replace the filters as needed. Next, inspect the outside wall vent cap and duct for an obstruction such as a bird's nest or accumulated debris. Poor airflow can also overheat the blower wheel and housing. If the filters and venting are clear, check whether the blower wheel turns freely by hand. A wheel that binds, or a hood that runs for a while before shutting off, points to a failing blower motor, exhaust fan motor, or fan motor. Worn windings or bearings can cause any of these motors to shut down while power is still present. Disconnect power before inspecting or servicing your Dacor range vent hood. Enter your 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 hood.
01 - Dacor 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 - Dacor 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.

03 - Dacor Range Vent Hood Blower Wheel and Housing
The blower has a motor that can overheat and shut off. If the motor is not turning freely, or is running for awhile and shutting off, but still has power to it, the blower will need to be replaced.
Highly Likely
04 - Dacor Range Vent Hood Exhaust Fan Motor
If the exhaust fan motor has power to it but keeps shutting off, the windings or bearings may be bad. Try turning the fan blade by hand. If the fan blade does not turn freely, or the motor keeps shutting off when it has power to it, the exhaust fan motor will need to be replaced.
Highly Likely
05 - Dacor Range Vent Hood Fan Motor
If the fan motor has power to it but keeps shutting off, the windings or bearings may be bad. Try turning the fan blade by hand. If the fan blade does not turn freely, or the motor keeps shutting off when it has power to it, the fan motor will need to be replaced.
Highly Likely
06 - Dacor Range Vent Hood Blower Motor
If the blower motor windings or bearings are bad the motor may overheat and shut off. Make sure the blower wheel turns freely. If the motor doesn’t turn freely, or the motor is shutting off after it runs awhile, the motor may be bad and will need to be replaced.
Highly Likely
