Fisher & Paykel range hoods exhaust cooking odors and smoke from the kitchen quickly and efficiently. Strong fan motors in Fisher & Paykel range hoods typically last for many years but you can never tell when a failure will occur. When your Fisher & Paykel range hoods isn't working as it should, find the replacement parts you need to fix the problem at Sears PartsDirect.
How to replace a light socket in your Fisher & Paykel range hood
Shut off the house circuit breaker to disconnect electrical power to the range hood.
Pull the latch tabs to release the air filters and pull both filters out of the range hood. Remove the screws that secure the bottom panel to the range hood frame and pull the bottom panel out of the range hood.
Unplug the wire harness connectors for the light sockets on the side panel. Pull the front of the side panel inward to release the locking tab and then remove the side panel.
Grip the bottom of the light socket and turn it to the right to release the locking tabs that hold the light socket in the side panel. Pull the light socket out of the side panel and discard it.
Install the new light socket and reassemble the range hood. Reset the house circuit breaker to restore power to the range hood.
Troubleshooting your Fisher & Paykel range hood when its fan doesn't work
A failed electronic control board, faulty user interface, bad fan switch, wiring failure or failed fan motor can keep a range hood fan from running.
Unplug the range hood and check the wire harness connections between the control and the fan motor. Reconnect any loose wires and repair any damaged wires. With the range hood still unplugged, check the electronic control board for burn marks that indicate a control board failure and replace the control board if you find burn marks on the circuit board.
If your range hood uses a user interface control to start the fan, you may need to replace the user interface if it isn't sending signals to the electronic control board when you press the fan button. A user interface control is a keypad and display panel that sends signals to the electronic control board through a ribbon wire cable when you press its selection buttons. DIY testing of the user interface control isn't available for most range hoods. If the electronic control board doesn't activate the fan when you press the fan button on the user interface control, you'll likely need to replace the electronic control board. If the fan still doesn't work after replacing the electronic control board, you'll likely need to replace the user interface control.
If your range hood uses a switch to activate the fan motor, test the fan switch for continuity using a multimeter (with the range hood still unplugged) to see if the switch allows current to flow to the fan when you turn the switch on. Replace the fan switch if you measure no continuity through the switch with the switch turned on. If the switch or the electronic control board sends current to the fan motor but the fan motor doesn't run, replace the fan motor.
