# Red light above Reset Filter on a GE Profile designer wall hood

The UVW9301 and UVW9361 designer hoods time filter use and light a red LED above Reset Filter when service is due.

## What Red LED above Reset Filter actually means.

The UVW9301 and UVW9361 designer hoods time filter use and light a red LED above Reset Filter when service is due. Holding the pad for 3 seconds turns it off, and a tap starts the count again. On a recirculating install, the charcoal filter supplied with the hood is replaced, not cleaned, when this LED comes on.

What to do when Red LED above Reset Filter shows on the range hood

### Kind of code Filter reminders

The hood has counted enough hours of fan time to ask for its filters: the mesh or baffle grease filters want a wash, or on a recirculating hood the charcoal filters want replacing. Most hoods count hours rather than measure grease, so the light comes on whether the filters are clean or not, and it stays on until it is reset with the key the manual names. A reminder that returns straight after a reset, or a hood that still pulls weakly with fresh filters, is worth a visit.

### Usually leads to Range hood filter and baffle service

Cleaning or replacing what catches grease and odor: mesh and baffle filters, charcoal pads on recirculating hoods, and the grease channel.

### Shows up as Reading a Range Hood Error Code or Blinking Light

A range hood error code may appear as letters and numbers on a display, a light that blinks in a pattern, a filter reminder that will not clear, or a beep with the fan refusing to start.

### Make GE Profile

GE Profile hoods and downdraft vents get fixed in your kitchen, starting with a check of the breaker and the hood's own switch.

## Questions about Red LED above Reset Filter.

### Can I clear Red LED above Reset Filter myself?

Wash the metal grease filters; if the hood recirculates, fit a new charcoal filter as well. If it comes back, it needs a visit.

### How do I turn off the red Reset Filter light on my GE Profile hood?

Hold Reset Filter for 3 seconds. Then tap it once so the hood starts timing the next interval.

### Can I clean the charcoal filter when the Reset Filter light comes on?

No. On these designer hoods the charcoal filter cannot be cleaned and should be replaced when the light comes on, or about every 6 months.

### Does the Reset Filter light mean my GE Profile hood is losing suction?

Not by itself; it is a timer. Dirty filters do cut airflow, though, so cleaning them usually brings suction back.
