Remove the baffle filters and the rear filter holder. If it comes back, it needs a visit. ### How is the blinking timer icon on a BlueStar hood cleared? Clean the filters, then press and hold the timer key for three seconds while the blower is off. ### Is anything else worth cleaning besides the filters when this reminder appears? The rear filter holder at the base of the baffles and the inner shield behind them are worth checking, especially if they look greasy. ### Can the baffle filters be taken apart for a more thorough clean? No, BlueStar's guide advises against separating a baffle filter; it should be washed as a complete unit. --- **[Read on the site: BlueStar hood: timer icon blinking with the blower off](https://appliancemaintenance.center/error-codes/bluestar-hood-timer-filter/)** **[Book a visit with ApplianceMaintenance.center](https://appliancemaintenance.center/schedule/)**
