When an Amana range vent hood touchpad doesn't work, the touchpad is the most likely cause, especially when some keypad buttons respond but others do not. This is a common touchpad not working or vent hood control panel not responding symptom. If none of the buttons work, the user control and display board or main control board may be defective. Before replacing a control board, verify that the Amana range vent hood is receiving power. Check the circuit breaker, or, if the vent hood plugs into an accessible outlet, test the outlet with another small appliance. If power reaches the board and the buttons still do not respond, the control board may need replacement. When the touchpad is separate from the control board, replacing both parts at the same time can help prevent compatibility problems. Control boards are often misdiagnosed, so test the more common touchpad and power causes first, and disconnect electrical power before accessing wiring or removing a cover panel. Enter your Amana range vent hood model number to find the exact replacement touchpad, user control and display board, main control board, or control panel for your specific vent hood.

02 - Amana Range Vent Hood User Control and Display Board
The user control and display board may be defective. Control boards are often misdiagnosed—before replacing the user control and display board, first check all of the more commonly defective parts.
The main control board may be defective. To determine if the touchpad is defective, try pressing some of the keypad buttons. If some of the keypad buttons work while other buttons do not work at all, the keypad is likely defective. If none of the keypad buttons work, the main control board may be defective.
Vent hoods are typically hardwired to the circuit breaker box, but they can also be plugged into a wall outlet behind the cover panel. In either case, it may be difficult to test the incoming power to the vent hood without removing a large cover panel. If the unit is plugged into an accessible wall outlet you can plug another small appliance into the outlet to confirm there is power. If you cannot access the incoming power connection easily, confirm the circuit breaker suppling power to the vent hood has not tripped.

05 - Amana Range Vent Hood Control Board
Most range vent hood control boards have the buttons attached to the board. If you've determined that power is reaching the board, then it's likely the control board is defective and will need to be replaced. If there is a separate touchpad, it would be a good idea to replace both the control board and touchpad at the same time.
