GE Range vent hood fan or light not working
If your GE range vent hood fan or light is not working, the thermal fuse is the most likely cause. A blown thermal fuse can interrupt power to the fan motor or light, so test it with a multimeter for continuity and replace it if the circuit is open. If the fuse is good, check the GE range vent hood fan switch. A defective fan switch may prevent voltage from reaching the fan motor. Next, test the on-off switch, micro switch, switch kit, and rocker switch for continuity. Any switch that fails the test can keep the GE range vent hood fan, light, or both from operating. Before testing or replacing parts, disconnect electrical power and follow safe electrical practices. Enter your GE 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 appliance. Matching the model number helps ensure the part fits and connects correctly, whether you are repairing a range hood fan that will not run, a vent hood light that will not turn on, or both.
