Hi,
I went to switch the light on the cooker hood today and there was a really loud bang and a blue flash and now neither the extractor fan or the lights will work. 😥 The main oven still works ok though. We have tried replacing the fuse in the plug but still no joy. Can anyone give me any idea as to what part may be broken before I go any buy something I don’t need to?? The cooker was already installed when we moved in to the house just over 2 years ago and we don’t have any instructon manuals etc for it, just that it is a Diplomat 610 Select electric oven and gas hob and (I think) model number APP2110.
Thank you for any help you may be able to give us! 🙂

The lamp probably shorted, so will need replacing. Easy!! BUT…….the short circuit would almost certainly have frazzled the switch bank circuit board. There will usually be one or two tracks blown on the PCB, so the hood will appear dead.
Now, spares may be a problem with MFI stuff. I have dismantled and repaired these units with a degree of success but they can be a miserable job. :rolls: But it is not impossible. 😉Power off if you are to investigate….. :plug:

Re: Diplomat APP2110-cooker hood bulbs & fan not working
Thanks for your reply aqualetric. 🙂 I have tried replacing the bulb (I managed that as, like you say, it was easy!!). If I am to see if the PCB needs replacing (or if there is any other obvious problem) would I need to unscrew the black plastic covering inside the cooker hood or is it situated elsewhere? Also if it is the PCB that that needs replacing do you have any idea how much it would cost?
You have also said that the parts may be difficult to find for MFI stuff – does this mean it is possible we would need a whole new cookerhood unit or just that it may take a bit longer to find somewhere that supplies them? 😕
Thanks

It’ll be the box at the back of the push button panel. Split the box and the PCB is inside. Blown tracks will be plain to see but with a little patience and a soldering iron you should be able to sort it. The easiest way to remember how it came apart (and therefore how to reassemble it) is to digitally photograph each step of the job. That way you shouldn’t really make any errors.
As you probably know, MFI have gone bust and spares are scarce ATM. See if you can repair what you have….but if it’s not possible, click “Shop @” in the navigation bar and see if Dave can find one for you.Power off before any inspection!! :plug:
HTH,
Steve.
