Noise level and rattle when extraction
Also odors come down from other apartments
The previous model we had for 24 years was much better!

We'd like to assist you with your hood making sounds. This hood requires 8” ducting to perform optimally. Using smaller duct pipe will cause reduced venting. We recommend minimizing the duct run length and number of transitions and elbows.
We recommend referring to the troubleshooting section on page 19 of the owner's manual for further guidance. Here is the link:

If further assistance is needed, please schedule a service appointment with a Bodewell technician by calling 833-426-3393 or schedule online at https://www.bodewell.com/schedule-repair-service

Filter Issues
on February 16, 2025
Posted by: TJBarber
I would avoid buying this hood as a recirculating hood until GE can figure out the charcoal filter issue. They recommend changing often but only sell 1 at a time to you. The hood takes 2 filters. They are also very tricky to install.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We want to help go over the charcoal filters for you. The filter on this model is recommended to be changed every 6 months or it is noticeably discolored. You can also order as many filters as needed from our parts website here: https://www.geapplianceparts.com/store/parts/spec/WB02X30511
We recommend checking out page 6 inside the user manual for detailed instructions on replacing the filters, that can be viewed here: https://products-salsify.geappliances.com/image/upload/s--pbFc2lB7--/145e416cc591092400c93244126e1a6032c16546.pdf

Misinformation! Ceiling height!
on November 21, 2024
Posted by: Oceanroar2024
from Bristol, RI
The primary literature for the hood states that a ceiling height of 7' 7" minimum is required. Not until we purchased the hood did we learn on page 11 of the owner's manual that a height of 7' 10" is required if you are using the hood to recirculate; otherwise the vents are covered on the sides. We have a 7' 8 1/2" ceiling height. This information should not be buried in the literature! Fortunately we had a machine shop who were able to cleanly cut the exterior stainless steel stack down 2 1/2" to expose the ventilation slots. Cost us more and was extremely stressful!
I would recommend this to a friend!

We're very sorry you had to modify the vent for the unit to work in your space. We're glad to hear that you were able to receive assistance with the installation. The installation instructions are the primary source of information in regards to installing this unit properly. However, we will pass your feedback on the minimum ceiling height information along to our product design team for review.

Quiet and good lighting

We love that it doesn’t sound like a jet plane taking off like our last vent fan. Bought it for the LED light feature and are satisfied with our purchase.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Major installation problem
on November 6, 2024
Posted by: Oceanroar
from RI
Beware! Although the literature states that the hood works with a 7’ 7 in. ceiling height, it does NOT. If you are using this hood for recycling air, not ducting outside, you need a 7’ 10 in. ceiling height or the vents will be covered. You learn this in the owner’s manual AFTER you purchase it. You need a 24 in. outer duct and GE claims to not make one. Very disappointed to research this and be led astray.
Response from geappliances.comBy Charlie, GE_Appliances, November 7, 2024
We're happy to provide some clarification on the vent hood installation. The vent hood must be installed between the 24” required minimum and 36” recommended maximum above the cooking surface. We recommend viewing installation instruction on page 8 of the manual at this link here:

Congratulations on your new range hood. This must look amazing in your kitchen. This beautiful hood with 350 CFM will be that great addition to your kitchen to get any unwanted smoke out of the air. We hope you continue to love your new hood. Thanks for allowing GE Appliances to be a part of your home.
