RH36WC55GS
Electrolux RH36WC55GS Chimney Hood Repair
Most common issues on this model
- Speed selector that will not move past the lowest setting
- Vibration felt in the wall when the blower runs on high
- Grease filters that rattle or sit loose in their track
- Weak suction caused by a crushed or greasy duct
This is the RH36WC55GS, a 36-inch stainless steel chimney hood that mounts on the wall above a range. It has a 600 CFM internal blower and vents to the outside. Electrolux has discontinued this hood, yet it still works in many homes.
A chimney hood has a visible stainless flue that covers the duct, which means the duct run is hidden and easy to forget. When a hood like this loses suction, we look at the filters, the damper where the duct leaves the house and the blower wheel before we blame the motor. A hood that shakes on high usually has a wheel with grease on one side or a loose mount, and both are simple to check.
Before we order a wheel or a motor, we match the number on the plate to the part. The price is quoted first, in writing. When fixing the hood would cost more than it is worth, we tell you so and let you decide.
Key features
- Wall-mounted chimney hood, 36 inches wide

Error codes this model can show
The fan on my RH36WC55GS shakes the wall on high. What is wrong?
A blower wheel with grease on one side is out of balance and shakes. A loose motor mount does the same. We clean or replace the wheel and tighten the mount, then check the speed control.
Can the grease filters be replaced on this hood?
Yes. They are stainless steel filters that fit in a track under the canopy. If they rattle, we check the track and clips first. A replacement filter is ordered by the exact model number on the label.
Why will the speed control not go past low?
The selector may be worn, or the control may not be passing the signal to the blower. We test both, along with the motor, before quoting a part, so you pay only for the real cause.
