What we can tell you
What this number means for a repair
Not a specification table. Capacity, dimensions and production years are not something we can verify, and a plausible-looking table of them would be invention rather than information.
-
The full number is the first thing we ask for
It decides what the display can tell you and how easily parts are found, and the data plate settles it in one line. Letters after the digits are not decoration — they identify the configuration, and two units sharing the digits can take different components.
-
What we ask you to read off the unit
The data plate, not the crate or the invoice. On this equipment it is inside the appliance rather than on the outside of it: on a range, open the oven door and look along the inside of the frame or behind the plinth at the bottom; on a rangetop, lift a burner grate and look at the deck below it; on a wall oven it is on the door frame. It carries the full number and the configuration code together, and a photograph of it is worth more than any table we could publish.
What owners of this model ask about
The symptoms searched most often with the H20TOM
Taken from real search suggestions rather than from a list we made up. Each page says what the symptom usually points at and what to check first.
-
The motor runs and the air does not move Hood suction has faded
Faded extraction with a motor that still sounds healthy is almost never the motor. The 600 CFM these hoods are rated at is specified against an unobstructed six-inch duct — eight inches on the inserts — and the baffle filters are dishwasher safe, so the first fix on this call is frequently free.
- Saturated baffles first, because they cost nothing to rule out
- 600 CFM assumes an unobstructed duct — most losses are in the run
- A coastal termination cap is a salt and grease trap
-
Lights on and nothing turns Hood blower will not start
A hood with working lights and a dead fan has narrowed the problem down for you: the supply and part of the control are alive. What remains is the speed control, the motor and — on the cheapest and commonest failure — the capacitor that gets it turning.
- Lights working means the supply is fine
- The capacitor is cheap, common and tested before the motor is condemned
- A hum with no rotation is the classic capacitor signature
-
It works, but it has changed Hood noisy or vibrating
A hood that has started to rumble, drone or vibrate is a hood that will eventually stop, usually on a day when the kitchen is full. It is also the symptom people put up with longest, because it still extracts — and it is the one where acting early genuinely saves the expensive part.
- A rumble is a bearing, and bearings do not recover
- Ticking is usually contact — a blade or a shifted housing
- On a two-motor hood, one bad blower is easy to miss

About La Cornue H20TOM repair
What this model is
Hood Grand Palais 180 — Motorized — a the motorized Château hood for the Grand Palais 180, 78.7 inches wide. 2000 mm wide, 78.7 inches, 850 mm high and 650 deep, matched to the Grand Palais 180 and finished in the same enamel and trim as the range beneath it. One 600 CFM blower on a four-speed variable motor against an unobstructed six-inch duct, two dishwasher-safe baffle filters with a grease capture system, three 20-watt lights, remote and in-hood controls. Starting from $25,000, which is why the enamel gets protected before the blower comes out. A strapped variant of this canopy exists — H20TOSM — with banding as part of the finish; it is the same hood to service and less forgiving to handle, because the banding shows every mark. Motorized island versions are quoted individually.
One model, no siblings
La Cornue lists exactly one appliance whose model number begins H, so there is no nearby variant to confuse it with — and no second model to borrow a part from either, which is worth knowing before a repair is agreed.
Does this appliance publish error codes?
No codes. Blower, capacitor, four-speed control, remote receiver and lamps, each failing separately.
Checking the number
H20TOM is a current model in the manufacturer's own catalog, which is where this page took it from. Read the number off the rating plate rather than off a receipt or a delivery note, and photograph it — these numbers are long and one wrong character sends a technician to the wrong parts list.
This article is based on:

Questions about La Cornue H20TOM repair
Is the H20TOM still worth repairing?
Usually. The Château motorized hoods was built to be repaired, and a cabinet in good condition with sound cabinetry is worth keeping well past twenty years. Where the work approaches what the unit is worth, or a second major failure is already visible, we say so on the visit rather than after.
Can you still get parts for the H20TOM?
For most of what fails, yes — OEM parts are ordered against your model. Legacy parts can take a few days to source, which is why we confirm a part is the problem before ordering it rather than after.
Where do I find the full model number on a H20TOM?
Behind one of the grease filters, on the underside of the canopy. Photograph the whole plate rather than writing it down — the letters after the digits decide which parts fit, and they are the part people misread most often.
What tends to go wrong on the H20TOM?
Judging by what its owners search for: hood suction has faded, hood blower will not start, and hood noisy or vibrating. Each of those has a page explaining the likely causes and what to check before booking anything.
Do you publish specifications for the H20TOM?
No. Capacity, dimensions, configuration and production years are not something we can verify, and a plausible-looking table of them would be invention rather than information. What we can tell you is what the number means for a repair.
