As the snow melts and the air warms up, most homeowners in Manitoba shift into spring cleaning mode — wiping windows, decluttering garages, and deep-cleaning kitchens. But there’s one crucial appliance that often gets overlooked: your kitchen range hood.
If you live in Winnipeg, Steinbach, Oak Bank, Lorette, Landmark, or Ste Anne, now is the perfect time to check the health of your range hood — before the busy season of family dinners, outdoor grilling, and indoor cooking kicks into high gear.
Why Spring Is the Right Time to Inspect Your Range Hood
During winter, most of us cook more at home, keeping windows shut tight. As a result, your range hood likely worked overtime — pulling in smoke, steam, grease, and odors day after day. By spring, filters can be clogged, fans worn, and internal components coated with residue.
If your range hood is:
-
Making more noise than usual
-
Not clearing smoke or steam effectively
-
Leaving odors lingering in the kitchen
-
Dripping grease or showing stains
… then it’s time for a closer look.
Common Spring Range Hood Issues We See in Manitoba Homes
Fix Up Pro technicians frequently repair range hoods in spring with problems like:
-
Grease-clogged filters that reduce airflow
-
Broken fan motors after months of heavy use
-
Faulty light switches or burned-out bulbs
-
Unusual rattling or humming sounds
-
Non-functional control panels or speed settings
These issues not only affect performance — they can be a fire hazard if ignored.
What You Can (and Can’t) Fix Yourself
You can:
-
Remove and wash metal mesh filters
-
Wipe down exterior surfaces and vents
-
Check for visible dirt or buildup
But you shouldn’t:
-
Open up the motor housing or fan assembly
-
Attempt to repair electrical connections or wiring
-
Ignore persistent odors or sounds assuming “it’s normal”
That’s where professionals come in.
