PLHV36W6C
Frigidaire PLHV36W6C Chimney Vent Hood Repair
Most common issues on this model
- Whether the fan starts and holds each speed
- Noise at medium speed
- Lamps and switch at the front of the hood
- Duct run and damper that carry air outside
PLHV36W6C is a Frigidaire Professional wall mount chimney hood, 36 in wide and finished in stainless steel. It is an older model, no longer a current product, and the same hood turns up as PLHV36W6CC. Houston homeowners who bought one years ago often still use it daily.
On a hood like this, the problems that bring a call are fairly simple to describe: the fan will not start, it starts but slows down, or it rattles at one speed only. A noise that shows up at medium speed alone often means the fan wheel is out of balance or a bracket has loosened. We listen to the hood run before we take anything apart.
After that we check the switch, the lamps, the motor and the duct damper. If your hood is a poor candidate for repair, we tell you so, because a new hood may make more sense. We note the full model and serial from the label before ordering a part. The price is written and approved first, and the 30-day warranty covers our work.

My PLHV36W6C rattles only on medium speed. Is that serious?
It is usually not serious. A fan wheel with grease on one blade or a loose bracket can resonate at a single speed. We clean and tighten what we find, then run every speed again.
Can the fan stop completely while the light still works?
Yes. The lights and the motor use separate paths, so a dead motor or a bad speed switch can leave lamps working. We test the switch output and the motor supply to find which part has failed.
Is a PLHV number different from the PL numbers?
They are separate model numbers within the same Professional chimney hood family. We match parts to your label, not to the look of the hood, to avoid ordering the wrong thing.
