Hi,
I have some problems with my cooker hood which has not worked since we have moved in. The light works, but when I switch the fan on all I get is a buzzing sound and it doesn’t go round. I guess it is the motor that has gone. Does this make sense and is it easy to replace?
Cheers

Not too difficult – power off remove 1 black screw from motor cover and turn thro 15 degrees motor and cover will drop down. Remove and replace with supplied new motor. However, you will probably find that a new hood is cheaper than the motor.

Two possible culprits Ben…
Or…
Motors do fail, but it’s more likely the PCB is up the chute, little else is liable given the symptoms. 😉
Remember to power off if you decide to investigate.

Cheers,
Will have a look over the weekend. However, when things involve soldering in place it starts getting a bit complicated for me.

9 out of 10 brand new extractors will not be faulty when people think they have problems . most likely the wire/cord as been left to long or not been cliped up out the way and has fallen down and jammed the fan blade or a bit of plaster has fallen down or something along tho lines.
unlikey to be pcb , when u turn on and hear buzzing mean either the fan is stuck on somthing or motor is struggling ie bad motor
