# KitchenAid hood flashes None for a few seconds

The control needs to know whether the hood vents outside or recirculates.

## What None actually means.

The control needs to know whether the hood vents outside or recirculates. Holding Power Decrease and Power Increase together for 5 seconds, with the fan and lights off, toggles the setting. None confirms that no charcoal filter is fitted, and from then on the charcoal reminder is switched off.

What to do when None shows on the range hood

### Kind of code Mode, not a failure

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.

### Usually leads to No repair

If your hood is ducted to the outside, leave it set to None.

### 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 KitchenAid

KitchenAid range hoods with a fan that stalls, lamps that stay dark or buttons that do nothing are checked in the kitchen they serve.

## Before you book, in this order.

Each step comes from KitchenAid's own guidance for None on its range hoods. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.

01

If your hood is ducted to the outside, leave it set to None.

02

If it recirculates through a charcoal filter, repeat the 5-second two-button press until Able appears instead.

03

Make the change only with the fan and lights off, or the control will not accept it.

### 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

None does not report a missing part or a failure. The grease filter reminder, Clean Grease Filter, still works with this setting.

## What you may notice with it.

The range hood problems None tends to arrive with. Answer these at the range hood before anyone is booked.

## Questions about None.

### Can I clear None myself?

If your hood is ducted to the outside, leave it set to None.

### Did None on my KitchenAid hood turn off the grease filter reminder too?

No. It only disables the charcoal filter reminder; Clean Grease Filter still appears after 30 fan hours.

### My KitchenAid hood will not change to None. What am I doing wrong?

The fan and lights must both be off, and both power buttons held together for a full 5 seconds. If it still will not switch, book a visit.

### Should my KitchenAid hood be set to None or Able?

None if it vents to the outside through a duct, Able if it recirculates air through a charcoal filter back into the kitchen.
