I have a Hygena Extractor Fan Model APP2440 which is old. It just stopped working when in use so the extractors fan are no longer rotating. The 2 internal lights for cooking still work though. Tried placing a new 3 amp & 5 amp fuse into the unit to no avail as the fans didn’t start to rotate again . Does anyone know what is wrong with this unit, how to repair, what spare parts are needed if any and if a repair is required how much would it be including VAT? thanks
these sort of units are by there nature fairly simple so your fault is down to one of 2 or 3 things
switches , or motor problems
if you get the room qiet can you hear any buzzing from the motor ?
i have deleted your duplicate post

I accidentally duplicated the post. Apologies. The Motor does not engage at all thus no buzzing to hear. How does one know if it is switch or motor related?
only by measuring the motor resistance. most of these motors have a thermal protection device on the common lead and if thats gone it wont work

unless you test it then you will not know
yes it may fix it but then it may be a motor fault then it wont
if i was on site i would measure the motor coils to make sure the motor was ok before deciding which component to order
Dave
How does one measure the motor coils? are these located behind the carbon filters? would you happen to know the year built for the”Hygena Extractor Fan Model APP2440″? I heard the manufacturer went bankrupt.
you need to use a multimeter on ohms scale. open the switch and the leads going to the motor can be accessed in there
have you had the switch apart and looked at it ? for blown tracks etc
if its ok you have about 4 or 5 wires going to the motor you should read a circuit across and of them. if there is one that has no continuity then the motor is likely dead
