What LED flashing (Power Boost)
actually means.
Holding button 3 for two seconds starts Power Boost, a speed above high. The LED flashes while it runs, and when the time is up the blower goes back to the speed it had before; the XOB and XOT hoods run it for six minutes, the XOI inserts and the ceiling vent for ten.

What to do when LED flashing (Power Boost) shows on the range hoodKind of codeMode, 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 toNo repair
Let Power Boost run out, or press button 3 to stop it early.
Shows up asReading 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.

XO range hoods are repaired on a home call, and a cold draft through the hood or a sluggish fan are both good reasons to book.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from XO's own guidance for LED flashing (Power Boost) on its range hoods. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Let Power Boost run out, or press button 3 to stop it early.
Use it only while you need the extra draw; the hood returns to your last speed afterward.
If the LED flashes but the fan gets no louder, book a visit to check the blower and board.
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 LED is a timer indicator, not a warning. On a hood whose Code Compliance Control was set to 395 CFM, Power Boost is switched off and will not start.

Wall-mount range hood
The chimney hood fixed to a bare stretch of wall above the burners, its canopy catching the rising smoke while a telescoping cover hides the duct that climbs to the ceiling.
Under-cabinet range hood
The slim hood screwed to the bottom of the wall cabinet over the burners, venting up through that cabinet or back through the wall, or cleaning the air and returning it to the room.
Island range hood
The hood that hangs from the ceiling over burners set into a kitchen island, open on all four sides, with its duct and wiring hidden inside a chimney that drops from above.
In XO's own words
press BUTTON 3 for two seconds and it will be activated for 6 minutes after which it will return to the previously set speed.

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.
