The ECVW3062AS is a current-generation 30-inch wall-mount hood, styled with pinstriped trim and glass touch controls rather than the physical buttons or knob used on Electrolux’s older WC-series chimney hoods. Touch controls that misread presses are checked for a film of grease or moisture on the glass surface first, since that interferes with a capacitive touch panel the same way it would a phone screen.
The responsive heat sensor is meant to bring the fan on automatically once it detects cooking heat, so a hood that never starts on its own, or one that starts for reasons unrelated to cooking, points to the sensor itself rather than to the blower, which only follows what the sensor or the touch panel tells it to do.
Key Features
- 30-inch wall-mount hood rated from about 211 to 412 CFM depending on fan speed, per Electrolux’s product page
- Glass touch controls and soft LED lighting
- A responsive heat sensor that reacts automatically to heat from the cooktop, plus removable grease filters
Most Common Issues on This Model
Glass touch controls not registering a press, or registering the wrong button
Heat sensor triggering the fan too aggressively, or not at all, for normal cooking
LED lighting dimmer than it was when the hood was new
