Cooker hood · your observations
A working light does not tell the fan’s story.
Explain lighting, speed selection and air movement separately. If known, state whether air recirculates through filters or travels through an outside duct. Leave the fitted hood in place; there is no need to climb up or dismantle it.
The fitted air route matters
A recirculating hood and a ducted hood move air through different arrangements. Mention the existing route where known, without removing the unit. A change in sound, fan speed or light response should each have its own sentence.
Speed selection works but airflow seems reduced
Keep sound and air movement separate. The existing filter arrangement, controls and air route can matter to assessment. Do not unmount the hood or reach over an unsafe cooking surface for a closer view.
The panel is dark, or the buttons do not respond
These are separate observations. Note which lights or displays remain visible and any interruption you already know about. Leave electrical housings shut; an enquiry does not require live testing.
When a photograph would help
Use the accessible panel or normal fitted position and check for private paperwork in the frame. Never recreate burning, tripping or dangerous leakage for the camera.
When replacement is being considered
Discuss the existing unit and connections first. Similar appearance, dimensions or a shared badge cannot by themselves establish a compatible replacement.
