EH48
Dacor Epicure EH48 Hood Repair
Most common issues on this model
- Airflow across a wide canopy
- Halogen light sockets
- Blower motor
- Filters and speed switch
Dacor’s EH48 is a 48-inch wall-mount range hood in the Epicure line, with EH4812 and EH4818 as versions. It uses 75-watt halogen lights and metal grease filters, and it is an older hood. At 48 inches it is a big canopy, which usually sits above a large range.
For a canopy this wide, uneven airflow is what we check first, since the ends may pull less than the middle. The metal filters explain most of it, and the blower comes next. The halogen sockets are heavily used, because a wide hood has several lights, and a browned socket can be the reason a light is out. We finish with the speed switch.
We confirm the model from the label before any order. Because some Epicure parts are scarce, we tell you what is available first, and a written price follows.

Why does my wide hood pull less at the ends?
Filters at the ends may be loaded, or the blower may be slow. We clean the filters, then check the blower speed and the duct.
One halogen light is out and the others work. What is wrong?
The socket or the bulb may have failed, and a wide hood has several lights that age at different rates. We replace the bulb, then inspect the socket and wiring behind it.
Is there a way to know which EH48 I have?
Yes, the data label shows the full number. EH4812 and EH4818 are versions of this hood, and we match every part to the number printed on yours, not to the shorter name.
