DHW482
Dacor DHW482 Wall Hood Repair
Most common issues on this model
- Filters for a wide hood
- Blower and the automatic shutoff
- Control response
- Carbon filter option
Dacor’s DHW482 is a 48-inch wall-mount range hood in the Discovery line, electric, with metal grease filters. The 48 comes from the model number. It is the widest wall hood in this group, so it usually sits above a large range.
We think of this hood by its filters, which are the part that touches the most grease. A wide hood has several, and uneven loading can leave one end weaker. We check each, plus the blower’s 4-hour automatic shutoff and the reminder that comes at 30 hours of use. A carbon filter, if installed, is replaced, not washed, so we note whether you have one.
The data label gives us the model for any parts order. We tell you the price in writing first, and we say plainly when a part is no longer available.

Why does one end of my wide hood draw less?
Filters at one end may be more loaded, or the blower may be slowing. We check each filter and the blower, then explain what we find.
Does the DHW482 have a carbon filter?
The family uses metal grease filters, and a carbon filter is also used with it in some installations. We look at what is installed in yours and tell you which parts to clean and which to replace.
The reminder light stays on. How do I reset it?
After you clean the filters, the control normally clears it. If the signal stays on, we test the control and reset it, then confirm that it counts the next 30 hours the way it should.
