Under-cabinet hoods are simple appliances, and most repairs come down to the switch, the blower or the lighting. Conversion between ducted and recirculating modes needs the correct damper and filter arrangement, and getting that wrong is a common cause of poor performance after a kitchen remodel.
Isolate the circuit before service. If a hood was converted to recirculating without fitting a charcoal filter, extraction will seem poor even though nothing has failed.
