Before I call for a Service Request (which is going to cost big bucks), is there anything I can do or check to get my range hood working again. Its a Faber Pelicano with the 600CFM Pro Motor which is only 2 years old. The light still works but nothing happens when I hit the button for the fan. Could it be a loose connection ? Could it be a fuse ? Any tips and advice will help. PS - I bought a Faber since you had such a good reputation and can?t believe that it stopped working after only 2 years when my old GE crappy fan which cost ¼ the price lasted 13 years.

Depends what is wrong.To call a repair man will cost a service call before he starts. Check all your wiring and see if there is a short. See what you can do before you call a repairman.

If you have tried to reset the microwave oven by turning the mains power off and on without success then it is likely the display is faulty.
The only way to repair is replace the control panel board. This can cost a lot of money.

See this site to give you some idea. Best to contact a repair technician and get an idea of costs.
KENMORE ELITE Microwave Range Hood Controller Parts Model 72180839500

Hi,

When it doesn't heat up,
We have a Frigidaire Range model PLEF398CCC and, as many others here have mentioned, we saw the puff of smoke and the oven nor the front left burner works. The repairman has to replace a EOC on the back of the control panel and another one in the back on the bottom. The total cost for parts alone is $438 then add in the service call cost. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME we've had an EOC go bad for big bucks. The unit is about 5 years old. We're thinking of filling the landfill with it.

Use this for troublshooting:

another testimony to help,

Had the same problem. This solved it for me:

(lazerangle.com/sanna/index.php?option=com_content&view=section&layout=blog&id=6&Itemid=63.).

Take care.

I'm not sure if it a regular home range hood but if it is. Check the price of a new one. A regular home range hood cost around $100.00 and a fan motor runs around the same. If it a commercial type is another story. If commercial Heritage Food Service Equipment will have the motor.

The oven control Board is most likely culprit...part# 71001799, cost me $175+service call
AND expect the Relay control to go next..cost $240+.
Poor repair record . See Consumer Reports.
I replaced my SVE47500.

If it runs but will not heat you most likely have a bad magnetron. Check the owners manual some magnetrons had a nine year part warranty. If yours doesn't it may be more cost effective to purchase a new microwave.

Fast forward to 2024: The same Dacor RV30 stop working. No lights. No response to key presses. Recycling power did nothing to correct the issue. Checked the PCB, discovered it was coated in grease, including the connector of the cable feeding the switchboard. I wondered how that happened. Even with the grease screens, grease found its way all the way down to the PCB and beyond. How long has that been happening? There is no baffle to prevent that from happening. Always check those grease screens to make sure they are sealed around the perimeter, but even still, I think grease will find its way down to the PCB.

There was no indication of burning on the PCB. Power across the fuse was good. I disconnected power to the unit then soaked the fragile female connector on the cable in a small plastic container of Simple Green overnight to remove the grease. Attempted to clean the male connector on the PCB, but since there was way too much grease on the PCB, I decided to replace the entire PCB out of an abundance of caution. The PCB looked okay, no burn marks like I had seen in 2009. Just a lot of grease. Which can be a fire hazard. After replacing the PCB, (the cheapest one I found was now $261.00) the vent still wouldn't work. No lights. No response from the keys.

I completely disassembled the keypad and discovered, it too, was soiled with grease. I cleaned the electrical contacts on the keypad PCB with rubbing alcohol and washed the touchpad assembly in warm soapy water, drying it immediately after.

After assembling the touchpad to the PCB prior to full installation to test functionality, the Dacor RV30 is once again working. Whew.

I cleaned the unit as best I could, installed the reassembled keypad and sealed the enclosure housing main controller board.

I ordered new grease screens ($40.000 and plan to seal the screens using aluminum tape around the perimeter. But I think, given the design, grease will once again find its way onto the PCB after a decade of use.

The grease-coated PCB I removed, will be washed in warm soapy water to remove the grease, and dried immediately after since I think it's still functional. If this fails again, I'll know the steps to take to resolve this issue, by more thorough inspection (and, if necessary, referencing what I just wrote on this website..lol).

Note the last two images - close up of the grease-coated connector and the keypad assembly.

Cheers.

Hi,

My RV30S was installed by a qualified service technician in
approximately the year 2000. It finally developed a mind of its own.
It would raise up and run for a bit and then stop....sometimes it
wouldn't raise up or go down....it would switch from fast to slow to
stop.....it became frustratingly unusable....
...today i finally took it upon myself to take it apart and I determined that the controller board had fried.


Before I go on -> Disclaimer: These units are hard-wired to live
A.C. power. These units must be serviced by technically qualified
service personnel. I do NOT recommend anyone to attempt this service.
I've worked in the past as an electrical engineer by trade. But to save
you time and money you can shop and buy the parts you need yourself and
then hire an appliance service technician to safely install them for
you. This way they can't rip you off by over charging for the parts and
you can certainly count the hours for the install.


The controller board is shown here. In my case, this diode fried.




I found a replacement controller on E-Bay for only $82 bucks and change. At the time of this writing they had 14 in stock.

It sounds like you may be having the same problem. But please be sure
to hire a qualified appliance service technician to do the work. If he
quotes a price for the controller board anything over 82 bucks, you
will indeed will be in a better position to negotiate a better deal.


Hope this helps anyone that is having or will have the same problem with an older RV30....

replace whole unit thats roughly what the whole unit costs 157.00 just a little secret there they dont tell you cause they mark up the prices i worked for the company that sold and installed this equipment you also remember tax

I have the same problem. Seems to be pretty common that the motor that raises the unit goes bad. Ours is 2 1/2 years old and has not seen that much use....that motor should not have failed that soon...and this is a high end product!!! I have been quoted $289 for a replacement motor and $150 for labor!! So, $450 bucks....gads. The unit, new, cost about $900, as I recall.
