Magic Chef Range vent hood touchpad doesn't work

When your Magic Chef range vent hood touchpad doesn't work, start by checking whether some keypad buttons respond while others do not. When only certain buttons fail, the touchpad is the most likely cause and may need replacement. If the entire control panel is unresponsive, the user control and display board or main control board may be defective. Control boards are often misdiagnosed, so test the touchpad and verify incoming power before replacing an expensive board. A tripped circuit breaker or a problem with the hardwired connection or wall outlet can leave the vent hood without power. If power reaches the hood but none of the buttons work, the main control board is more likely at fault. Some Magic Chef range vent hoods have the buttons built directly into the control board. If your model uses a separate touchpad, replacing the touchpad and control board together may prevent repeat failures. Enter your model number to find the exact touchpad, user control and display board, main control board, or other replacement part for your specific Magic Chef range vent hood.

04 - Incoming Power Problem

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 - Magic Chef 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.
