Faber Appliance Repair in Longlevens

Why is my Faber cooker hood not extracting properly?

Reduced extraction on a Faber cooker hood is usually caused by clogged filters, blocked ducting, or stuck damper flaps. Clean the grease filters thoroughly, replace charcoal filters for recirculation hoods, check the exterior vent for blockages, and ensure ducting is not kinked. If suction remains weak, contact a qualified technician.

What does a flashing LED light mean on a Faber cooker hood?

A flashing LED light on a Faber cooker hood signals that the activated charcoal filter needs replacing. This alarm appears after approximately 200 hours of operation in recirculation mode. Replace the charcoal filter with a genuine Faber replacement and clean the grease filters, then reset the alarm according to your model's instructions.

Why does my Faber cooker hood turn on by itself?

If your Faber cooker hood turns on automatically without manual activation, it is likely equipped with a heat sensor that detects high temperatures from your hob. This safety feature activates the extraction fan when excess heat builds up, helping to remove smoke and prevent overheating. Some models also feature K-Link technology that synchronises the hood with a compatible Faber induction hob, automatically adjusting extraction based on cooking intensity. This is normal operation for hoods with these features.

Why are the lights not working on my Faber cooker hood?

If the lights on your Faber cooker hood do not illuminate but the motor works, it may be a bulb, LED strip, or driver failure. Switch off at the mains before any inspection. For halogen models, you may check and replace the bulb with a matching type, avoiding direct skin contact with the new bulb. For LED models, contact a qualified technician as LED components require technical expertise to replace. Consult your instruction manual for model-specific bulb specifications.

Why are the control panel buttons not responding on my Faber cooker hood?

Control panel buttons not responding on a Faber cooker hood may be caused by grease buildup, loose cable connections, or a faulty control board. Switch off at the mains, clean the control panel with a soft damp cloth, and leave unplugged for 10 minutes to reset. Symptoms may vary by model, so consult your instruction manual for model-specific guidance. If the issue persists, contact a qualified technician.

What noise level should I expect from a Faber cooker hood?

A comfortable cooker hood should not exceed 55 dB(A) at maximum speed during normal operation. Faber hoods are designed to minimise noise through optimised internal airflow and components. Models with brushless motors and the Eco function can operate below 40 dB(A) for continuous air circulation.

How often should I deep clean the inside of my Faber cooker hood?

Deep clean the interior of your cooker hood and the duct inside the hood once a year. This includes cleaning all accessible internal surfaces where grease may have accumulated beyond the filters.

What types of charcoal filters are available for Faber cooker hoods?

Faber offers several types of charcoal filters for recirculating hoods: standard activated carbon filters (replace every 3-4 months), high-performance activated carbon filters (replace every 6 months), and Long Lasting filters (wash in the dishwasher every 3-4 months, lasting up to 3 years). Check your model's specifications for compatible filter types.

What is K-Link technology on Faber cooker hoods?

K-Link is Faber's wireless technology that connects compatible Faber induction hobs and cooker hoods using radio signals. When enabled, the hood automatically adjusts its extraction power based on the cooking intensity of the hob, optimising performance without manual adjustment while reducing energy waste and unnecessary noise.

What is the Faber Long Lasting charcoal filter and how do I maintain it?

The Long Lasting filter is a reusable active carbon filter with multi-layer technology that can be washed in the dishwasher every 3-4 months and lasts for up to 3 years of normal use. After washing, dry it at room temperature in a vertical position or in an oven at 50°C.
