RH36WC40GS
Electrolux RH36WC40GS Overhead Hood Repair
Most common issues on this model
- Fan that stays on one speed no matter which button is pressed
- Grinding or clicking from the blower housing
- Timer or display that flickers or resets by itself
- Halogen lights that flicker or burn out quickly
Electrolux sold the RH36WC40GS as a 36-inch overhead range hood, and it is now a discontinued, older model. It carries a 400 CFM internal blower, a four-speed electronic control with a display and timer, and two halogen lights set at different heights.
Most hoods like this hang under a cabinet above a 36-inch range or cooktop. Because the speed buttons, display and timer all share one electronic control, a hood that acts strangely is often a control problem rather than a motor problem, and we test the control before we replace the blower. If we hear grinding, we pull the blower wheel to look for grease buildup or a worn bearing.
A sticker inside the hood carries the full number, and we copy it down before we order a blower or control board. You see the cost in writing and agree to it first. Every repair we make is covered by a 30-day workmanship warranty.
Key features
- Overhead hood, 36 inches wide

Error codes this model can show
Why does my hood run on one speed only?
The four-speed control sends the speed signal to the blower. If the buttons or the control board have failed, the blower may stay on one speed. We check the control, then the motor leads, then quote the repair.
Is the clicking from my RH36WC40GS dangerous?
It is usually a loose blower wheel, a bent blade or dried bearings, not a hazard, but we would not leave it. Turn the hood off, and we will inspect the housing and clean or replace what is worn.
Can the timer on this hood be repaired?
Yes, when the control is still available. The display and timer sit on the same control as the speeds. We test it and tell you the price of a replacement before ordering the part.
