Gaggenau Range vent hood turning on by itself

When your Gaggenau range vent hood turns on by itself, the thermostat is the most likely cause. Some hoods automatically start the vent blower when the temperature inside the hood becomes too high, then shut it off after the hood cools. Check your owner's manual or wiring diagram to confirm whether your Gaggenau range vent hood has this feature. If the blower or lights turn on and off randomly, a faulty control board may have burnt relay contacts or an internal short. A worn touchpad can also close the circuit intermittently and send an unwanted start signal. Next, check the user control and display board, especially if some control panel buttons respond inconsistently. The main control board can cause the same intermittent operation, while a shorted control module is less common and should be tested only after the touchpad and control boards are checked. Disconnect power before testing or replacing electrical parts. Enter your Gaggenau range vent hood model number to find the exact thermostat, control board, touchpad, user control and display board, or control module for your appliance.

01 - Gaggenau Range Vent Hood Thermostat

If the temperature in the hood gets hot there may be a thermostat that will automatically turn on the vent blower until the temperature cools down. Check the owner's manual and /or the wiring diagram to see if your vent hood has this feature.

06 - Gaggenau Range Vent Hood Control Module

The control module receives inputs from the control panel switches to turn the lights and blower on and off. If the control module shorts out, the blower or lights may go on and off randomly. Because this is not a common problem make sure the control panel and switches are tested before replacing the control module.
