What Fan icon flashing with 10:00
actually means.

Holding the Timer button for 5 seconds starts Timed Fan Off. The fan icon flashes, 10:00 appears, and after 3 seconds the count begins; when it reaches zero the blower switches itself off. It lets the fan clear the last of the cooking air without being left on.

What to do when Fan icon flashing with 10:00 shows on the range hood

Before you book,
in this order.

Each step comes from KitchenAid's own guidance for Fan icon flashing with 10:00 on its range hoods. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.

01

Let the countdown run if you want the fan to switch itself off.

02

To keep the fan on, cancel the timer with the Timer button.

03

If the blower keeps running after the count ends, or stops long before it, book a visit.

Cleared?

The code is gone and the blower pulls steam up on every speed again without a new part. If it returns this week, or the filter reminder keeps coming back right after a cleaning, mention it in the booking.

What not to do

The flashing icon is not a blower warning. The separate kitchen timer, set from 1 to 60 minutes, only counts time and does not switch the fan off.

The range hood problems Fan icon flashing with 10:00 tends to arrive with. Answer these at the range hood before anyone is booked.

All problems

No repair indicated

Nothing to repair.

The hood is doing something it was told to do, not wearing out: a delay-off timer that keeps the blower running for some minutes after the burners go off, a heat sentry that starts the fan by itself when it senses a hot pan, a Sabbath setting that locks the keys and dims the lights, or a link to the cooking surface that sets the speed on its own. No part is needed; a key sequence from the manual, or simply waiting, ends it.

In KitchenAid's own words

The fan icon will flash and 10:00 (10 minutes) will show in the display.

Can I clear Fan icon flashing with 10:00 myself?
Let the countdown run if you want the fan to switch itself off.
Why did my KitchenAid hood switch itself off after cooking?
Timed Fan Off was probably on. It runs the blower for 10 minutes and then stops it, with the fan icon flashing during the countdown.
How do I start Timed Fan Off on a KitchenAid hood?
Hold the Timer button for 5 seconds. The fan icon flashes, 10:00 shows, and the count starts after 3 seconds.
Can I change the 10-minute run time on my KitchenAid hood?
The guide gives Timed Fan Off a fixed 10 minutes. The adjustable 1 to 60 minute timer is a separate kitchen timer.

Back to your everyday

Still showing Fan icon flashing with 10:00?

Three things make the booking useful: the letters or blink pattern exactly as they showed, the full model number from the label behind the filters, and whether the fan still moves air on every speed. With those, the technician arrives with half the answer already worked out.
