VENT-BLOCK The range hood fan is running but airflow is significantly reduced or absent at the exterior vent cap — indicating a blockage or restriction in the exhaust duct path between the hood and the outside. Applies to JVW, JVX, and UVW series ducted range hoods. Range Hoods Medium SWITCH-FAIL One or more control switches or speed buttons on the range hood panel have stopped responding. The hood may operate only on one setting, not respond to speed changes, or fail to turn on or off. Applies to JVW, JVX, and UVW series range hoods with electronic or mechanical switch controls. Range Hoods Medium NO-POWER The range hood does not respond to any button press and produces no output — no fan, no light, no display. This total loss of function indicates a power supply failure, a tripped circuit, or a control board fault. Applies to JVW, JVX, and UVW series range hoods. Range Hoods High NO-LIGHT The range hood task light does not illuminate when the light button is pressed. This behavioral condition affects JVW, JVX, and UVW series hoods and can stem from a burned-out bulb, a failed LED module, a faulty light switch, or a wiring fault between the switch and the lamp socket. Range Hoods Low FAN-NOISE The range hood fan is running but producing abnormal noise — rattling, grinding, squealing, or excessive vibration — that indicates a mechanical problem with the blower, mounting hardware, or ductwork connection. Applies to JVW, JVX, and UVW series hoods. Range Hoods Medium
