Nutone Range vent hood fan or light not working
If your NuTone 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 stopped at the same time. Unplug the range vent hood before testing, then use a multimeter to check the thermal fuse for continuity. Replace the fuse if it has no continuity. If the fuse is good, test the fan switch, which must send voltage to the fan motor, followed by the on-off switch, which controls power to the fan motor or light. A defective micro switch, switch kit, or rocker switch can also keep the NuTone range vent hood fan from running or prevent the light from turning on. Test each switch for continuity and replace any switch that fails. Check the wiring and terminals for loose or damaged connections while you work. Enter your 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 NuTone unit.
