Is your Broan range vent hood fan or light not working? Start with the thermal fuse, the most likely cause when both functions have stopped. Disconnect power and use a multimeter to test the thermal fuse for continuity. If it is open, replace it. If the fuse is good, test the fan switch, which may prevent voltage from reaching the fan motor, followed by the on-off switch, which controls power to the range vent hood light or motor. A faulty micro switch, switch kit, or rocker switch can cause the same symptom. Test each switch for continuity and replace any part that fails. These checks can help diagnose a Broan range vent hood with no fan, no light, or both functions unavailable. Before handling wiring, turn off power at the circuit breaker. Enter your Broan range vent hood model number to find the exact replacement thermal fuse, fan switch, on-off switch, micro switch, switch kit, or rocker switch for your specific machine. Using the correct part helps ensure the fan and light operate safely and reliably.

A defective fan switch may not allow voltage to reach the fan motor to run it. To determine if the switch is defective, use a multimeter to test the switch for continuity. If the switch does not have continuity, replace it.
A defective on-off switch may not allow voltage to reach a light or fan motor to turn the light or motor on. To determine if the switch is defective, use a multimeter to test the switch for continuity. If the switch does not have continuity, replace it.
To determine if the micro switch is defective, use a multimeter to test the switch for continuity. If the micro switch does not have continuity, replace it.
To determine if the switch kit is defective, use a multimeter to test the switch for continuity. If the switch does not have continuity, replace the switch kit.
To determine if the rocker switch is defective, use a multimeter to test the switch for continuity. If the rocker switch does not have continuity, replace it.
