Very, very expensive repairs!

We have spent almost $3000.00 on REPAIRS in the 7 years we've had this fan! If even the smallest amount of liquid boils over, the electronic circuitry blows and and needs to be replaced. It's boiled over 4 times and each repair is $700.00+. Our 10 ft granite island was custom cut to accommodate this fan. Our installers insist they followed the manufacturer's specifications.

We like the retractable vent system; however, the vent won't go up. The filter popped out after cleaning as the unit was going down. Now I can't raise the vent to put the filter back in. Electricity is going to the system. The manual says the system won't work without the filter engaging a microswitch and I can't raise it to put the filter back in.

I was so disappointed after having the vent installed. It would go up and down but the fan would not turn on. Installer said that it wasn’t the installation so I needed to call Kitchenaid. Repair appointment setup. After waiting 4 hrs - no show. Called Kitchenaid again. Repair company confirmed and this time kept me updated on the appointment time. Turns out that the switch for the vent was not connected! Really? You would think that the assembled unit would be tested before being packaged up and sent to a customer. I am cautiously optimistic now that the vent works. Maybe the rating will improve but for the amount that we spent on the unit, I expect quality assembly.
