Frigidaire 36" Overhead Range Hood

I don’t recommend this range hood! I’ve had it for 2 years. One of the halogen light bulbs went out. I downloaded the owners manual to see how to remove and replace the bulb. I ordered a new bulb through the retailer and it cost $47.00 including shipping. Neither my husband or I could get the dead lightbulb out following the directions. I had bought cotton gloves per the instructions to install the new bulb. Next we paid a well respected handy man in our area to get the light bulb out. He couldn’t get it out either so actually removed the whole unit in the effort. Finally he got the bulb out and then reinstalled the range hood and new light bulb. After he left I checked and the new bulb was working but the fan was not!!! I had no alternative but to call the retailer who arranged to send an appliance repairman to our town for $139.00. This guy did get the fan going. It SHOULD NOT be this difficult to change a light bulb! I am disgusted and am out lots of money and time to get this bulb and range hood working. During this disaster I went 2 months with inadequate light and had to set a lamp next to my range to see to cook. I DO NOT recommend this range hood! This process was ridiculous!

Fan is effective and quiet. Use the light all the time.

The push buttons pop out at you if you don’t hold it in when turning it off. I went round and round with customer service. I tried parts and warranty. It’s a design flaw I guess they don’t care that it ducks if it’s out of warranty. One department offered the button at about $30. But it’s out of stock. Mine was list inside the vent a hood after popping off. Unretrievable. The warranty Dept doesn’t even know there is just a button and wanted to sell me the button assembly. $267 I just need the button.
