Midea old-style range hood disassembly method

Old range hoods are likely to lose their effectiveness quickly with use and even sometimes cause circuit failures due to the length of time they have been in use. Therefore, knowing how to disassemble and reinstall an old range hood is one of the basic skills that every resident should have.

Here's how to disassemble an old range hood:

1. Prepare the tools you need

There are some basic tools you need to disassemble an old range hood. These tools include screwdrivers, wrenches, calipers and cutting tools, etc. Make sure the tools are clean and accurately equipped.

2. Disconnect the power supply

Before you start dismantling an old range hood, the power supply must be disconnected. This can be done by turning off the circuit switch or disconnecting the power from the mains. Ensure that the appliance cannot be harmed by coming into contact with the power supply during dismantling.

3. Remove the old range hood cover

Remove the hood from the wall or ceiling. To remove the hood, use a screwdriver to remove the screws on the bottom of it, then push the hood upward to free it from the base. Before removing the hood, take care to double-check the wires it's attached to, to prevent the wiring from breaking during removal.

4. Disconnect the wires

Disconnect the wires if necessary. The terminals are usually located near the motor. Use a pair of caliper pliers, 03 alloy scissors, etc. to cut through the protective coating of the wires, and then use a wrench to loosen the wire clips. At this point, it is important to mark the color of each wire so that they can be properly connected to the correct terminals during reassembly.

5. Remove the Oil Cup and Swing Arm

Remove the smoker or swing arm if parts need to be cleaned, inspected or replaced. Loosen the Phillips screw next to the smoker to remove the swing arm from the smoker, then remove the oil cup.

6. Schematic assembly

After unfolding the diagnosis, the old range hood can be reassembled and reinstalled. After thoroughly cleaning and inspecting each part, assemble them back into place. Make sure that each wire is connected to the correct terminal.

In conclusion, disassembling an old range hood requires some skill and technique, but the correct use of the proper tools and the right steps, the exact steps, can ensure a successful disassembly and reinstallation. If you are unsure of how to correctly solve a problem, recruit a professional technician to help you disassemble and reinstall your old range hood.
