Most common Dacor vent repair parts that need replacing

  1. Fan blower motor. The fan blower motor spins the blower wheel to exhaust air out of the kitchen.
  2. Fan selector switch. The fan selector switch is mounted on the control panel. The fan selector switch activates the blower fan motor at the selected speed.
  3. Gear motor. The gear motor raises and lowers the pop-up vent when you push the activation switch. Limit switches shut off the gear motor when the pop-up vent reaches its destination.
  4. Blower wheel. The blower wheel is fastened to the blower motor and rotates when fan motor is running. The blower wheel moves air from the area above the cooktop, through the exhaust air duct system and outside of the home.

How to fix your Dacor downdraft ventilation system when the fan isn't pulling much air

When the downdraft vent fan isn’t pulling much air, clogged grease filters, air duct problems, a fan motor failure or a broken blower wheel could be causing poor air suction.

  1. First, check the condition of the grease filters and wash or replace them if dirty.
  2. Next, check the air damper on the vent duct cap attached to the outside of your house. That air damper keeps outside air from flowing into your home when the downdraft vent fan isn’t running. Repair or replace the air damper if it doesn’t open to allow downdraft exhaust air to flow out of the exhaust duct.
  3. Check the blower wheel for damage because a damaged blower wheel won’t move air through the downdraft vent properly. Replace the blower wheel if damaged.
  4. A weak fan motor won’t turn the blower wheel at the right speed to move air through the downdraft vent. If the fan motor makes noise or doesn’t turn the blower wheel at full speed when activated, replace the fan motor.
