Universal Range vent hood fan or light not working

An Universal range vent hood fan or light is not working, a blown thermal fuse is the most likely cause, especially if both the fan and light have stopped operating. Test the thermal fuse with a multimeter for continuity. If it has no continuity, replace it. If the fuse is good, check the fan switch, which may not send voltage to the fan motor, followed by the on-off switch, which controls power to the light and fan. A defective micro switch, switch kit, or rocker switch can also keep the range hood fan from running or prevent the light from turning on. Test each switch for continuity and replace any switch that fails the test. Always disconnect power before testing or replacing parts, and verify that wiring connections are secure. Whether you need a range hood thermal fuse, fan switch, on-off switch, micro switch, switch kit, or rocker switch, enter your Universal range vent hood model number to find the exact replacement part for your specific appliance.
