Broan Range Vent Hood Switch Parts

Broan Range Vent Hood Switch Parts

The switch on your Broan range vent hood controls fan speed and operation. When the switch fails, you'll notice the hood won't turn on, won't respond to speed adjustments, or gets stuck running. Most Broan hoods use a push-button or rotary switch that can wear out over time, especially in kitchens with heavy cooking.

A faulty switch is one of the simplest range hood repairs — no electrical work required, just remove the old switch and snap in the OEM replacement. Broan makes push-button switches, rotary speed control switches, and electronic control boards depending on your model year. Finding the exact part takes one detail: your model number.

• Push-button switches: won't depress, stuck button, hood unresponsive
• Rotary speed switches: knob won't turn, fan speed stuck on one setting
• Electronic control boards: LED display dead, touch controls unresponsive
• Power switches: on/off failure, intermittent operation

Enter your Broan range hood model number above to find the correct switch assembly for your hood. OEM switches maintain the right resistance and voltage profile to work perfectly with your motor and control system.

Broan Range Vent Hood Switch FAQs

What causes a Broan range hood switch to fail?

Broan hood switches fail from repeated use, moisture exposure, and heat from the cooking area. Push-button switches wear out fastest because they're pressed thousands of times. Grease buildup inside the switch housing can also cause sticking or poor contact. If your hood occasionally works or only works on one speed setting, the switch contact is probably dirty or corroded — replacement is the reliable fix.

How do I know if my Broan hood switch is the problem?

Test the switch by trying all speed settings and the on/off button. If the hood runs on one setting but not others, the switch is failing. If the hood won't respond at all to any button press, and the motor hums when power is applied (but doesn't run), the switch is almost certainly the cause. Some Broan models have a thermal overload protection that clicks off if the motor overheats — if the hood shuts off after running for 20+ minutes and won't restart until it cools, that's a motor issue, not the switch.

Do I need to turn off power before replacing a Broan switch?

Yes. Always turn off power at the circuit breaker before working on any range hood. Most Broan switches are low-voltage (120V), so the risk is low, but safety is non-negotiable. Most switches simply unplug or unscrew from the control panel — it's a 5-minute job with the right OEM part.

What's the difference between Broan push-button and rotary switches?

Push-button switches control the motor with individual buttons — usually one for on/off and separate buttons for speed 1, 2, 3. Rotary switches use a single knob that you turn to select speed or off. Both can fail in the same way, but the replacement part is specific to your hood model. Broan range hoods from the 1980s — 2000s favor rotary switches; newer models trend toward push-button for cleaner control panels.

Broan Range Vent Hood Model Number: Where to Look

On Broan range vent hoods, look for the model number on a rating label inside the hood, usually on a side wall or near the cooking surface.

Enter the complete model number in the Repair Clinic search bar to narrow the catalog to parts that fit your entire Broan hood, including switches, motors, lights, and other parts.
