Dacor DHW361 Chimney Hood Repair
Most common issues on this model
- Fan speed switch
- Lights that are out
- Blower noise
- Chimney fit on the wall
Dacor’s DHW361 is a discontinued 36-inch wall-mount chimney hood. It belongs to a family that comes in 30-, 36-, 42- and 48-inch widths, and we still service it. The chimney rises from the canopy to the ceiling, which gives the hood its look.
Owners of this hood tell us about three things most often. A fan speed switch that no longer changes speed is the first, and it is a small repair when a matching switch exists. Lights that are out come second, and the cause may be a bulb, a socket or the wiring. The third is blower noise, which brings us to the wheel and the mounting. We also check how the chimney sits.
Parts for discontinued hoods can be scarce, so the label’s model is what we use to look them up. We tell you what we find, and a written price comes before the work.

The fan speed switch on my DHW361 does nothing. What now?
We test the switch and the wiring. A worn switch is a modest repair if a replacement is available, and we check that before you pay.
Why are the lights out even with new bulbs?
The socket or the wiring may have failed, since heat and age wear on both. We test them, replace the socket if needed and also check the switch that controls the lights before we call the job done.
Is the 36-inch chimney hood hard to repair?
Not usually. The chimney comes apart in sections, and we reach the blower and lights from below. We put everything back aligned afterward, so the joints sit flush and nothing rattles when the blower runs.
