The EI36WC55GS is the earlier model number for the 36-inch chimney hood later sold as the RH36WC55GS, and the pairing is common enough that some retailers still list both numbers on the same listing for this hood. It shares the RH36WC55GS’s 600 CFM blower, blue-display electronic control and auto-start heat sensor.
A heat sensor that triggers the fan with nothing cooking nearby is usually reacting to a nearby heat source other than the cooktop — a dishwasher vent, an oven left open below, or direct sunlight on the sensor window — rather than a sensor that has failed. Persistent grease odor with clean filters more often points to residue built up inside the duct run itself, which the filters cannot reach.
