Rangehood not clearing cooking smells?

A ducted rangehood pushes air outside, but a recirculating one has nowhere to send it, so it relies on a charcoal filter to capture odours. Activated charcoal has a huge surface area that grabs smell molecules from the air passing through it, but it fills up over time. When it's spent, cooking smells hang around for hours, curry and fish nights linger into the next day, and the hood seems to make little difference. Grease filters protect the charcoal, so keeping those clean helps it last longer.

Swapping the charcoal filter

Turn the rangehood off and isolate it at the wall. Unclip the grease filters, then remove the old charcoal filter, noting whether it twists, clips or slides into place. Fit the new one the same way and refit the grease filters. If your rangehood has a filter reminder, reset it as described in the user manual.

Questions about this part

How often should I replace a charcoal filter?

It depends on how much you cook and the type of filter. Your rangehood's user manual gives the recommended interval. Change it sooner if cooking smells start lingering even with the hood running on a higher speed.
