[QUOTE="ProDave, post: 329745, member: 6969"] Is it one of these stainless steel hoods? I've repaired one that sounds like that. the light, and the fan is controllder by a row of pushbutton switches that stick out of the front edge of the hood. the one I repaired, when you take it apart (remove the grease filters to see inside) the switch unit is indeed enclosed in a plastic box. Inside that plastic box is a little circuit board with the switches on, and the one I had to fix the circuit board had burned up. all I had to do was fit the replacement board that the owner had already bought from the manufacturer. If it is like that (hard to tell without photos) then I would say it's not water damage. What with the main outer casing, then the inner plastic box, you would have to be cleaning it down with a karcher to get any water inside to the switches. So I think it very unlikely that it's your fault, more likely just something that has broken, and the landlord being too tight to pay for a repair. [/QUOTE]
