Thermador HMWB36FS
The 36-inch HMWB36FS is the one we see over a wider cooktop where the cabinet above is not tall enough for a canopy. It is built-under, 11 inches high and 23 1/8 inches deep, with the stainless front forming a flat line below the cabinet. Thermador shows HMWB36WS as its successor, and customers often ask whether the new model matches the old opening; we compare the dimensions before ordering.
Moving the exhaust through a flexible discharge connection allows more than one routing, and a poorly chosen one can fold the duct. When someone has a hood that moves less air than it used to, we look for a collapsed transition before we blame the motor.
The filters are dishwasher-safe cassettes, and the touch controls offer three stages plus intensive with a delay shut off. We test each stage, time the delay, and see whether a stage that fails does so at the board or at the blower.
It is the model Thermador lists, but check the cutout and duct position against your cabinet. We help compare them. Check the cutout, discharge position and depth against your cabinet before ordering. We help compare them on site.
The manual sets the time for this model. If it runs far longer or shorter than that, the control needs testing. Time it with a clock.
A new duct layout or a kinked flexible transition is the common cause. We trace the path from the hood outward. The flexible connection is the first thing to check, then the cap.
