how can I fix my Hygena extractor fan APP2410?

Extractor fan is not working. Could be a fuse. How can I find out what is wrong and fix it?

I just fixed same problem - lights ok, no motor.

!!! If you're going to attempt this make sure the hood is isolated from the mains !!!

I removed the switch box (remove greasy grilles, remove 2 small screws holding the box in place), and opened it by removing 4 further screws.

There was a burned out solder joint on the PCB which had effectively disconnected power to the switches. I cleaned and repaired it, then refreshed the rest of the solder joints as there were a few others which looked cracked. Mechanical stresses from the switches, I'm guessing.

It's now as good as new! Which is to say noisy and ineffective :D

Mine has just gone. Took out PCB Board (switches). The board has melted and was getting hot FIRE!. Smoke was coming from it. New part at Espares.co.uk. £45 (put in code "Newyear2008" get 10% off.

Clare it is probably the pcb switch , you will need a soldering iron to replace , costs about 44 pound
