Went to turn on the rangehood light, and as I did so, there was a loud banging noise which also tripped safety switch, causing other appliances to lose power. Safety switch reset and everything else is working fine except the rangehood. No lights, no fans. The fans weren't on at the time either, just went to turn light on. Not sure if it is a motor problem or not. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.
Hello,
One night, my (Omega) range hood also blew with a snap, crackle and pop (flash) also after pressing the light button.
The PCB is charred behind the light switch/toggle thingy.
The PCB is a replaceable part, but out of interest I am curious to learn if I can piggyback the light onto the fan switch.
"Anonymous", at first I thought I may have authored what turned out to be your post.
Many thanks.

I found the instruction manual on the Baumatic website.
Thanks anyway

After reading some other similiar threads, I ended up pulling my rangehood apart thinking there maybe a fuse in plug. Found the plug but no fuse. Next I pulled the switches out which were in a plastic box. In there I found a circuit board where the main power comes in. This circuit board was black in one area and the soldered circuit had been blown away so there doesn't appear to be any chance of power getting to where it is supposed to go. Not something I can fix. Is this even fixable by an electrician or am I up for a new rangehood? Thanks.
