There can be quite a few reasons why it is happening. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I will help you get to the bottom of the problem once and for all!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The range hood is dripping because of condensation inside the exhaust duct. The condensation occurs if &ndash; warm and moist indoor air comes into contact with a cold surface. In this case the exhaust duct wall.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>The Moist air will condensate when the temperature of the duct wall is at or under the dew point. <strong>This is why this is a &ldquo;winter problem&rdquo;<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>There can be many reasons why the duct is cold and causes oily water to drip from the range hood. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We will discuss all possible reasons in detail so you can find out exactly <strong>which one is the culprit in your kitchen.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I will start from the most common problem and work my way down to the least common. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Leaking\/Missing Backdraft Damper<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This is by far the most common reason why the duct is cold and leads to greasy liquid dripping down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A backdraft damper is a simple flap that is operated either by gravity or a spring.
