If your Caloric range vent hood fan or light is not working, a blown thermal fuse is the most likely cause, especially if both functions stopped at the same time. Disconnect power, then test the thermal fuse for continuity with a multimeter. Replace it if it has no continuity. If the fuse tests good, the fan switch may be defective and unable to send voltage to the fan motor. Next, check the on-off switch, which controls power to the light or fan motor. A failed micro switch, switch kit, or rocker switch can also interrupt the circuit and cause a Caloric range vent hood fan not working or vent hood light not working problem. Test each switch for continuity and replace any switch that fails the test. Always turn off power before checking wiring or removing a part. Enter your Caloric 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 appliance.

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.
