Kenmore Range vent hood fan or light not working
If your Kenmore range vent hood fan or light is not working, start with the thermal fuse, the most likely cause. A blown thermal fuse can interrupt power to both the fan motor and the light. Test the fuse for continuity with a multimeter and replace it if it has no continuity. If the fuse is good, check the fan switch, which may prevent voltage from reaching the fan motor. Next, test the on-off switch, since a failed switch can stop power from reaching either the light or fan. Other likely causes include a defective micro switch, switch kit, or rocker switch. Test each switch for continuity and replace any part that fails the test. These checks can help pinpoint why your Kenmore vent hood fan is not working, why the vent hood light is out, or why both functions have stopped. Always disconnect power before testing or replacing parts. Enter your model number to find the exact replacement thermal fuse, switch, or other part for your specific Kenmore range vent hood.
