I bought a telescoping downdraft three years ago. I admit that I did not purchase the extended warranty. Honestly, I figured it would be at least five years before anything went wrong. Mistake number one I guess. My wife had the vent raised in order to remove the filters and clean them. While she cleaned them, it decided to retract on its own. Now it won't come back up. No where in the manual under vent system care or troubleshooting does it mention an issue or fix for this. MIstake number two is believing that manufacturers want to do the right thing. It's easier I guess to stick to black and white procedures(one year manufacturer's warranty). Such as, charge me for a trip, and I'm assuming labor to simply get the thing back up to reinstall the filters. Apparently there is a microswitch(that word should scare you) that has to depressed by the filters for the unit to work. All seems so ridiculous. Sorry, not sorry for the long rant.
