He will give you the help you need. If
the fan doesn't work but the light does work, you probably have
either a defective fan switch or a burned-out fan motor. You can
replace either one without removing the vent hood from the wall,
but you need to use an ohm meter to decide which component is
defective.
When
the light doesn't work, it's usually because the bulb has burned
out. If you replace the bulb and the light still doesn't work
but the fan does work, either the light switch or the lamp-holder
socket is defective. You can replace either of these without removing
the vent hood from the wall.
Your
vent hood is normally wired directly to your household electrical
system (you don't plug it in). If the unit doesn't work at all,
check for a blown fuse or a tripped circuit breaker.
When
your fan runs at only one speed, it's either because of a partially
defective fan motor or a defective fan switch. You can replace
either of these without removing the vent hood from the wall,
but you need to use an ohm meter to decide which component is
defective.
If
your vent hood has a dimmer switch that adjusts the light intensity,
but the dimmer doesn't work, the dimmer switch is probably defective.
If so, you need to replace it.
Your
vent hood may be one of the many that are meant to circulate the
air but not remove it. Here's how you can tell: It's
difficult to convert a circulating ventilation system so that
it vents outside. You would need to run a metal duct from the
vent hood either to an outside wall or through the roof of the
house. We suggest you contact a qualified appliance installer,
to determine whether a duct can be installed in your home.
Warning!
To avoid personal injury or even death, always disconnect your appliance
from its power source--that is, unplug it or break the connection at
the circuit breaker or fuse box--before you do any troubleshooting or
repair work on your appliance. Also, because some components may have
sharp edges, use caution while working on your appliance. |
