As time goes on I find more and more dodgy work that has been done to recently renovate my current PPOR by previous owners (only been in it 3 weeks!!!).
This time it is the nearly brand new rangehood in the kitchen. It does not suck air - makes a lot of noise but no suction. There is also a funnel looking thing new in a bag in the cupboard above the rangehood - obviously not connected to anything, and I am thinking that it probably should be. (I am not real familiar with rangehoods as I have not had one before.) I can't see anywhere that the air goes when sucked up...not that it does that anyway.
I don't know where to start to fix this. Personally I would rather leave it, but if I end up with tennants in it next year then I am sure it will become something they complain about, and it might help keep the new kitchen a little cleaner. So, what can I do? The kitchen cupboards stop a few inches below ceiling so you would see a funnel going up, and I am guessing it won't be cheap to get this done. Would it be easier to get a new range hood that blows what it sucks out the top on the front of it - I have heard they used to have these?
Any ideas would be great. Thanks!
