# Monogram range hood blower and light repair

### About hood blowers and lights

The fan is dead, the lights are out, or the controls have stopped responding. On the current chimney hoods there is one possibility worth ruling out before booking anything: automatic mode can be holding the fan off because the air quality sensor believes the air is clean, and that reads exactly like a dead blower. Run it manually at full speed first.

What this involves

Automatic mode ruled out first

Blower, capacitor and speed control measured

Lights and fan are separate circuits

Run it manually at full speed

If it runs, the hood is fine and the sensor or the automatic mode is the conversation.

Check power at the hood

Lights working and fan dead means power is arriving and the problem is downstream.

Test the blower and its capacitor

A motor that hums and will not start is usually the capacitor rather than the motor.

Test the speed control

A hood stuck on one speed or dead at one speed points here.

Do the lights properly

LED modules and their drivers, not just the lamps.

### The lights work and the fan does nothing.

Power is reaching the hood, so the problem is downstream of the control — the blower motor, its capacitor or the speed control. A motor that hums and will not start is usually the capacitor, which is the least expensive outcome on that list.

### It only works on one speed now.

That is the speed control or the motor windings, and it is worth fixing rather than living with. A hood used permanently at full speed because the lower settings have gone is a hood nobody switches on, and then the grease goes onto the cabinets instead.
