Zephyr in Millbrae

Zephyr in Millbrae kitchens.

Millbrae is built around the BART and Caltrain hub, and a lot of the housing near the station and along Broadway is older ranch-style homes that have had one kitchen remodel since the 60s or 70s. The Zephyr hood that went in during that remodel is usually a wall-mount over the range, not an island setup, and it has typically been running on the same speed-control board and motor for close to fifteen years by the time I get the call.

At that age the calls in Millbrae are pretty predictable. The blower motor bearings wear out and the fan gets loud and weak at the same time, or the slide or touch speed control quits responding on one or two settings before it fails completely. I also get the occasional call where the whole hood cuts out and it turns out to be a tripped breaker or a loose wire nut behind the unit, not the hood itself.

Common repairs we do

What we close on the truck.

  • Blower motor replacement, older wall hoods. On a 10 to 15 year old wall-mount Zephyr, worn motor bearings are the usual reason for a loud, weak fan.
  • Speed control switch or board. One or two speed settings quit before the whole switch fails. I test the switch and the board separately before ordering a part.
  • Wiring and circuit check. A hood that is completely dead is sometimes a tripped breaker or a loose connection behind the unit, not a failed part.

FAQ

Zephyr in Millbrae questions, answered.

  • My Zephyr hood near Broadway stopped working entirely. Is it the motor?
    Not always. I check the circuit and the wiring behind the hood first, since a tripped breaker or a loose wire nut can look exactly like a dead motor.
  • What does the diagnostic visit cost?
    You pay $99 for the visit itself. If the repair goes ahead, that $99 gets credited against the job, and you see the number in writing first.
  • Can you get to Millbrae quickly?
    Millbrae sits well inside San Mateo County, where our technician is based, so this is not a cross-county drive for us the way it would be from an East Bay shop.
