Electrolux Cooker Hood Light problem?

The bulb on my cooker hood has blown (with a big bang and blew the bulb appart) I have replaced the bulb but the lights do not work. The fans work ok. Is there a separate fuse for the lights somewhere? also the fuse in the supply plug is a 13 amp is this right?

Thanks.

the fuse should be 3 amp so when the bulb fails it blows the 3 amp fuse.if you fit a 13 amp fuse it blows the track on the pcb which is behind the buttons you press to switch light on.remove the switch panel from hood and open plastic box and look for blown track on pcb.resolder track,fit back with 3amp fuse and test.
