Is it better to use a side suction or a top suction range hood? How to solve the problem of loud noise from the range hood?

Many friends don't know whether to choose a top-suction range hood or a side-suction range hood when choosing a range hood. What are the similarities and differences between the two? In fact, it can be seen from the following aspects. Open the detailed introduction below and learn about it slowly. I hope it will be useful to you.

Is it better to use a range hood with side suction or top suction?

Side suction range hoods and top suction range hoods each have their own advantages and disadvantages. From the perspective of aesthetics, top suction range hoods can be installed in cabinets, which is more aesthetically pleasing. From the perspective of use effect, side suction range hoods are closer to the stove and have a better fume absorption effect. From the perspective of cleaning, top suction range hoods are easier to clean, but oil may drip during cooking.

From the perspective of aesthetics, ceiling range hoods are better, as they can be installed inside the cabinet, which looks more beautiful and does not take up space. However, side-suction range hoods can only be installed outside the cabinet, which looks more conspicuous and is less beautiful than ceiling range hoods.

From the perspective of the use of the two, the side suction range hood is closer to the stove and has a better smoke extraction effect, but the corresponding side suction range hood will be very noisy. During the cooking process, the oil smoke will automatically rise upwards. The top suction range hood can absorb a large area of ​​oil smoke, but it is relatively far from the stove, and the smoke extraction efficiency will be slightly worse.

After using the range hood, you must do the corresponding cleaning work. From the perspective of cleaning, after the top suction range hood absorbs the oil smoke, oil will condense on the surface. Although it is easier to clean, there may be oil dripping. The side suction range hood is equipped with a filter plate inside, and although the oil will not drip into the pot, it is more troublesome to clean.

How to solve the problem of loud noise from range hood

The loud noise from the range hood may be caused by loose parts. After finding the loose parts, use a screwdriver to reinforce the parts. If there are many pipes connected to the range hood and the angles and cross-sections are very small, the range hood will make a lot of noise when it is running. It is recommended to find someone to replace the pipes. The fan blades of the range hood will make noise if it is used for too long. The fan blades should be replaced in time.

If the range hood is noisy, it may be that the parts are loose, so the longer it is used, the louder the noise will be. It is recommended to turn on the range hood and observe whether it vibrates. At the same time, find the loose parts according to the location of the vibration, and install the parts with the prepared screwdriver and screwdriver. The noise of the range hood with fixed parts will be reduced.

When installing some range hoods, there are not only many pipes connected to them, but also the angles and cross-sections are very small. In this way, when the range hood sucks in air, the wind will vibrate at high speed, and the smaller the cross-section of the pipe, the sharper the noise. It is recommended to ask the staff to come to the door for repair, and at the same time use a larger cross-section pipe and increase the angle of the pipe bend.

After using the range hood for a long time, the fan blades of the range hood will begin to deform, and after deformation, due to the different vibration frequencies, a lot of noise will be emitted. If the noise is caused by the deformation of the fan blades of the range hood, it is best to find a professional to repair it. After replacing the fan blades, the noise can be reduced a lot.

How to remove the range hood box

When disassembling the range hood box, you must first remove the outer cover on the filter, then unscrew the screws around the filter, remove the filter, and then remove the coarse filter inside. After using a wrench to unscrew the large nut in the middle of the fan blade, remove the fan and clean it with detergent.

When disassembling the range hood box, you must first unplug the switch inside to avoid unnecessary safety hazards. Then remove the outer cover of the range hood. The common outer cover is of two types: snap-on and threaded. When disassembling, you can rotate it left and right to remove it. At this time, you can see the filter inside.

The filter on a general range hood is fixed with screws. At this time, you can use screws to unscrew the screws around and remove the filter. The next step is to remove the coarse filter inside, but be careful to remove it carefully, as the tip of each fan blade is relatively sharp, so as to avoid causing cuts.

After removing the coarse filter, you can take out the fan inside, but the disassembly will be more complicated. At this time, you can use a wrench to unscrew the middle nut and remove the hexagon. Then take out the fan, spray it with a special cleaner, and rinse it with clean water.
