How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the microwave or switch off the circuit breaker before working on an over-the-range unit.
Step-by-step checks:
- 1. Test fan speeds: Try all fan speed settings. Note if any speed works or if the fan is stuck off/on.
- 2. Access fan motor: Remove the top grille and, if necessary, the unit from the wall to access the hood fan assembly.
- 3. Inspect motor and blades: Check for obstructions (filters, packaging, grease buildup) preventing rotation. Clean or remove obstructions.
- 4. Check wiring: Ensure the fan motor connector is secure and wires are not burned.
- 5. If motor is seized or open-circuit: Replace the hood fan motor with a Paderno-compatible part.
- 6. If fan stuck on: The fan relay on the control board may be stuck closed and the board may need replacement.
