Grease or liquid dripping from the range hood
Most drips are grease that has saturated the filters or collected inside the hood because the filters were not cleaned or were missing. A second pattern is steam condensing inside a duct that runs through a cold space and running back down to the hood. Clean everything, then look at filter habits and duct routing.
Before you start
- Power off and let the hood cool before removing filters
- Built-up grease is a fire load; never leave it in place after a service call
- Do not wash charcoal filters or put them in a dishwasher
