KitchenAid Range vent hood fan or light not working
When a KitchenAid range vent hood fan or light is not working, a blown thermal fuse is the most likely cause. Test the thermal fuse with a multimeter for continuity. If it has no continuity, replace it. If the fuse is good, the fan switch may be defective and unable to send voltage to the fan motor. Next, check the on-off switch, which controls power to the light or fan motor. A faulty micro switch, switch kit, or rocker switch can also interrupt power and keep the KitchenAid range vent hood from operating. Test each switch for continuity and replace any switch that fails the test. Before testing or replacing parts, disconnect electrical power to the vent hood and follow proper safety procedures. Enter your model number to find the exact replacement thermal fuse, fan switch, on-off switch, micro switch, switch kit, or rocker switch for your specific KitchenAid range vent hood. Matching the part to the model helps ensure the correct fit and reliable operation.
