DHW301
Dacor DHW301 Wall Hood Repair
Most common issues on this model
- Filter-clean reminder behavior
- Auto-off timer
- Grease filters and the carbon filter option
- Fit above a 30-inch range
The DHW301 is a 30-inch wall-mount range hood from Dacor’s Discovery line, electric, with metal grease filters. The 30 comes from the model number. It is the smallest size in this family and sits above a 30-inch range on the wall.
A compact hood works harder per square inch, so grease builds up on the filters faster. The hood reminds you to clean them after 30 hours of use, and its blower turns off by itself after 4 hours. If either behaves oddly, we test the control. We also check the switches and the lights, and ask whether a carbon filter is installed, since it needs replacing rather than washing.
We use the data label to confirm the exact model before ordering a part. A written price comes before we begin.

Why does my small hood clog so quickly?
A compact hood has less filter area, so grease loads it sooner. Cleaning more often helps, and we check that the blower is moving air properly.
Is the carbon filter washable?
Carbon filters are generally replaced, not washed, and metal grease filters are the ones you clean. We check whether a carbon filter is installed on your hood and tell you what to buy and when.
The hood turned off by itself. Is something wrong?
It may be the normal shutoff, because this hood turns its blower off by itself after 4 hours of running. If it stops sooner than that, we test the control and the timer and tell you what we find.
