My central extract …

My central extract unit (ULV, USV, USVX) is making noise – what can I do?

Are you experiencing noise from your central extract unit? If your ULV, USV or USVX unit is making noise, the fan may need cleaning.

Answer:

If your ULV, USV or USVX central extract unit is making noise, this is usually caused by a dirty fan. The fan should be cleaned at least once a year.

How to clean the fan:

  • Unplug the unit from the special socket to make sure the fan is completely disconnected from power
  • Carefully pull the connection box loose from the fan side. It is attached with Velcro
  • Unscrew the four mounting screws on the round motor plate
  • Pull the entire fan straight out of the fan housing while holding the square connection box
  • Use a non-water-based degreasing cleaner together with a small scraper or brush to remove dirt from the fan wheel
  • Be careful not to damage or squeeze the fan wheel
  • Avoid getting liquid inside the motor
  • Let the fan dry completely before reinstalling it in reverse order
