Yea, I found a sticker. It has two model numbers, not sure which one I have. Not that it matters because I can't find any information for either model number.

I found Vent-a-Hood - sounds like a good brand and made in USA hoods (it seems).

Sounds like Zephyr and Vent-a-Hood are recommended brands. But I also have an affinity for Bosch, Miele and Sharp.

Once I better understand what I've got, I'll deep dive into what's offered by these brands to see if I can get a match (or closest to it).

Don't all hoods have washable filters? I assumed so. It's clean; just builder special.

I don’t know whether or not all range hoods have washable filters. But you didn’t mention checking or cleaning the filter, so I thought it reasonable to ask. A clogged hood filter would likely cause the problem that you described.
