Gradual Suction Loss Over Months
What You Notice: The chimney used to clear all frying smoke instantly, but now smoke drifts across the kitchen even at maximum speed 3.
Possible Reasons: Because there are no filters, sticky oil directly coats the curved impeller fan vanes, reducing aerodynamic lift and narrowing exhaust pipe diameter.
What Technician Checks: Measures intake air speed using a digital anemometer; inspects internal blower chamber for grease buildup.
Repair or Replacement: Full mechanical removal of the impeller fan and chemical degreasing; clearing the exterior exhaust duct pipe.
What To Do Next: Avoid spraying liquid chemical cleaners directly into the open suction intake while the motor is spinning.
