Not sucking smoke, motor running loud, auto-clean stuck, or filter clogged with grease — our chimney technicians diagnose it at your doorstep and quote the repair cost before work begins.

Kitchen Chimney Problems We Repair & Service
Chimney Not Sucking Smoke / Low Suction
A kitchen chimney that runs but barely pulls smoke or steam is one of the most common complaints we see, especially in homes that cook with oil-heavy South Indian food daily. It's usually a build-up issue rather than a motor failure.
Common Causes
- Oil and grease clogged filter mesh restricting airflow
- Baffle filter saturated and needs deep cleaning or replacement
- Blocked or kinked ducting / exhaust pipe
- Motor running at reduced RPM due to wear
- Incorrect chimney height or duct length for kitchen size
- Non-return flap (NRF) stuck partially closed
Our technician checks the filter, ducting, and motor speed at your home before recommending a cleaning or a part replacement.
Chimney Motor Making Loud Noise
A chimney that suddenly runs louder than usual, rattles, or makes a grinding or humming sound points to a mechanical issue with the motor or fan assembly rather than the filters.
Common Causes
- Worn motor bearings
- Fan blade imbalance or grease build-up on blades
- Loose mounting screws or bracket vibrating against the wall
- Foreign object (utensil, cloth) caught in the fan housing
- Motor nearing end of life on older units
Some noise issues are a simple clean and re-balance; a worn motor needs replacement. We diagnose which one it is before quoting.
Auto-Clean Chimney Not Working
Auto-clean chimneys use a motorised turbine to fling oil into a collector cup. When this stops working, oil builds up inside the unit instead of draining, and suction drops sharply soon after.
Common Causes
- Auto-clean turbine motor fault
- Oil collector cup full or blocked
- Sensor or control board fault not triggering the auto-clean cycle
- Excess grease build-up jamming the turbine mechanism
- Auto-clean button or touch panel not responding
We check whether it's a mechanical jam (often fixable with a deep clean) or an electronic/motor fault (needs a part).
Oil & Grease Filter Clogged
Every kitchen chimney's filter — mesh or baffle type — collects airborne oil over time. Left too long, it stops suction almost completely and can start dripping oil back into the kitchen.

Common Causes
- Filter not cleaned for several months of regular cooking
- Mesh filter warped or torn, trapping less oil
- Baffle filter panels stuck together with hardened grease
- Wrong cleaning method used at home (damaging the filter coating)
We recommend cleaning mesh or baffle filters every 3–4 weeks of regular cooking. A deep clean or filter replacement restores suction quickly.
Chimney Not Turning On / No Power
A chimney that shows no response at all — no lights, no fan movement, no display on the touch panel — usually points to a power or control board issue rather than the motor itself.
Common Causes
- Loose or tripped power connection at the switch board
- Blown internal fuse
- Faulty control board / PCB
- Touch panel sensor failure (touch-control models)
- Wiring damaged during installation or a kitchen renovation
First check the power switch and MCB. If those are fine, the fault is internal and needs a technician visit.
LED Light or Touch Panel/Remote Not Working
The cooktop LED light and the touch panel or remote are common points of failure on newer chimneys, even when suction and the motor are otherwise working fine.
Common Causes
- LED bulb or LED strip burnt out
- Loose light wiring connector
- Touch panel sensor affected by oil film or moisture
- Remote battery dead or IR receiver fault
- Control board fault affecting the light circuit only
Light and panel issues are usually inexpensive to fix and don't require replacing the whole unit.
