Parts for Broan QP342BL: Range Hood Assembly Parts

This front control panel provides the user interface surface for the appliance, restoring button access and the finished exterior where controls are located. It replaces a cracked, faded, or non-responsive front panel to improve usability and appearance. What it does:

• Provides the exterior surface for the appliance controls and buttons
• Houses buttons, indicators, and openings used to operate the unit
• Restores a clean, finished look if the original panel is dented, scratched, or discolored
• Helps ensure buttons and overlays align correctly with internal switches

• One front control panel

• High-level replacement: usually remove trim/fasteners to lift out the old panel and secure the new panel in place
• Power off and disconnect the appliance before servicing to avoid electric shock
• Handle carefully to avoid scratching the finish; small clips or screws may be required
• If panel includes electrical components or overlays, verify alignment with switches before final assembly

This diverter directs airflow inside the ventilation assembly to route exhaust where intended, helping restore proper venting and reduce backflow. It replaces a damaged or misaligned airflow guide for safer, more efficient operation. What it does

• Redirects exhaust air through the correct duct path to restore designed airflow.
• Helps prevent unwanted backflow or redirected exhaust that can cause poor venting.
• Can reduce abnormal noise from loose or broken airflow channels.
• Helpful when cracked, warped, or missing diverter pieces cause reduced performance.

• One diverter piece as shown.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any service.
• Remove exterior covers or duct connections as needed to access the diverter; keep fasteners organized.
• Verify the diverter seats securely and seals against mating surfaces; replace any damaged gaskets.

This electronic control board is the replacement circuit board that manages range hood/vent fan functions and user controls, restoring proper operation when the control electronics fail. It provides the interface between switches/buttons and the hood's motors and lights. What it does:

• Receives input from the hood's control panel and sends signals to fan motors, lights, and speed settings
• Replaces faulty electronics that cause unresponsive controls or intermittent operation
• Commonly used when the hood's fan won't start, speeds don't change, or lights flicker/intermittently work
• Restores coordinated operation of multiple functions once defective board is replaced

• Disconnect power at the circuit breaker before beginning any work
• Handle the board by its edges and avoid touching components; observe ESD precautions
• Verify connector orientation and seating; match wire harnesses to original locations before reassembly
