I``m an appl.installer & I`ve never had this issue & jennais`s tech.support can`t help & adv.tech.@jennair only talks w/app.repair svs.tech`s. In replacing an Amana downdraft unit that had the vent sys.built around it,attempting to retro-fit the jennairs blower set up has left me needing to have the blower motor & 6' intake on the blower housing to be on opposite sides on the blowers 5' exhaust to floor vent.It can be done, housing bolt pattern wise,housing is the same both sides & wil accept changing however the fans paddles appears to not move the air correctly in the opp.side.It only has a slight downdraft pull. Does the motors polarity need reversed & if so how is that achieved ?
SOURCE: downdraft
I would double check that the installer used the correct vent hood outside. The correct one has a spring that keeps the outdoor flap closed when not in use. Cleaning the outdoor flap area may also help it seal a little better. Even if the right hood was installed, you might check to see there is a spring present (or signs that there was one.
I have never had air blow out the downdraft, but I do feel cold travel to the fan unit which makes the floor cold in front of the range.

the most a used appliance wil bring , if very clean and in good condition is usually half of the value of the cost of a new one. I hope this helps you to decide.
