Possible Causes
Burned-out hood light bulb, Failed hood fan motor, Faulty fan or light switch, Defective control board relay for hood functions
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the microwave or switch off the circuit breaker before servicing the hood fan or light.
- Replace bulbs: Access the hood light bulbs from the bottom of the unit. Replace with the exact type and wattage specified by Danby.
- Fan speed settings: Try all fan speed buttons. If none work, the fan motor or control is suspect.
- Check filters: Remove and clean grease filters. Excess grease can overheat the fan motor.
- Next step: If the fan still does not run or is noisy, the hood fan motor or control board relay may need replacement by a technician.
