Customer Questions and Answers for Range Hood Switch (Control) by Broan

This replacement electrical switch restores reliable control of range hood functions. When the original switch wears out, sticks, or fails, installing a new switch brings back proper on/off response for the fan or light. What it does:

• Controls hood functions—fan or light depending on the model
• Sends power to the motor or lamp when toggled to the selected position
• Common failure symptoms: no response, intermittent operation, or only working in one position
• Physical signs can include a loose/broken actuator or discoloration from internal arcing

• One switch

• Disconnect power at the breaker and verify no voltage before servicing
• Note wire locations; transfer leads one at a time to the new switch
• Ensure push-on terminals are fully seated; avoid bending switch tabs
• Test operation before reassembling the control panel
