[QUOTE="patka, post: 329738, member: 22895"] Hi. I would like to receive specialists opinion, please... When I have recently tried to switch on my cooker hood it made 'blown fuse' sound and stopped working completely. Now after 2 weeks my landlord is telling me that the main board has blown and black box behind the cooker hood or something like that as well. He is telling me that the reson of that is water that got through the switches (on/off, speed, light etc.) he suggested that I might have used a trigger cleaner, wet hands at some point when switching on or off and some water could have gone inside. He said that electrician told him that is probably the only way the main board could break. My questions are: - Is really water damage the only or main cause of main board / black box (sorry for vocabulary if I am wrong) fault? - Is it possible for electrician to determine water as 100% reason of the fault after isnpecting the hood after 2 weeks? Are there any specific signs suggestion water damage? He now wants me to pay for a new cooker hood or parts which seem to cost quite the same... Would appreciate your help. Thanks a lot! [/QUOTE]
