Troubleshooting tips and frequently asked questions for Faber Kitchen Chimneys.
Troubleshooting tips
If your Faber chimney isn't turning on, first check the power supply and ensure the plug is securely inserted into a working socket. Also, verify that the circuit breaker hasn't tripped.
For reduced suction, clean or replace the grease filters. Clogged filters restrict airflow. Faber recommends washing baffle filters in warm soapy water every month.
If the chimney makes unusual noise, check for loose screws or debris inside the duct. Tighten all fittings and remove any obstructions from the ducting.
When the lights flicker or don't work, replace the LED bulbs with the same wattage and type as specified in your Faber user manual.
If the chimney vibrates excessively, ensure it is mounted securely on a level surface and that the duct pipe is properly supported.
Frequently asked questions
Why is my Faber kitchen chimney not sucking properly?
