What needs separating?
A fan that can be heard is not proof of effective extraction. Explain the airflow result as well as the sound, and tell us about any known filter or duct arrangement.
For “moisture or grease drips from the hood”, potential assessment areas include condensation, filters or the ventilation route. The product and an inspection determine which explanation, if any, fits.
A short record of this change
Note when dripping happens and whether extraction is ducted. Include the setting and the first stage that differed from normal operation, without assuming why it happened.
Whether the lights and fan operate separately
The speed at which the change is noticeable
Airflow, noise, vibration or dripping observed
Identity before interpretation
Use a visible identity label during normal user access only. A canopy design or kitchen brand may not identify the extractor motor or control version.
Access without dismantling
State the height, whether the hood recirculates or vents outside if known, and any restriction around the canopy. Do not climb or dismantle ducting for a photograph.

Keep an unsafe appliance out of use
Repeated restarting is not a diagnostic method. Leave covers fitted and stop for smoke, burning, sparking, water near electrical parts, severe overheating or repeated tripping.

Complete only what you know. The notes remain in this page until you copy them; opening the booking service does not send these notes automatically.
