Unfortunately due to the angle of it and there being a wooden beam right in front of it (close) I can't actually get even a mini ratcheting screwdriver in there!

Ah, there were two in the picture - the lower one is the one I am referring to. The JB above it is really tricky to get to!

Are you able to let me know what the next steps are? Thanks!

Anyone have any views in why there is a secondary fan within the ducting that can be switched on and off and whether this would provide any real advantage in turning it on?

Yes indeed - one of the lights has gone! Do you have any idea on what the fan may be blowing air?

So I fitted a new 3a fuse and cleaned out the carbon filters that were on either side of the motors. They're currently drying, so I thought I'd check the fan out... the first thing I noticed is that it appears the fan is blowing air from one side (about half the fan) and about a third blowing on...

Thanks - I'll get a few spares! I keep seeing online in general that most people put a 3a in... is there any advantage if this over the 5a and vice versa?

I've removed it and put my continuity tester on each side of it and it's making zero noise... I'm presuming this means it's blown? It's a 5a - would it be worth replacing like for like, or with a different amp fuse?

So I've done that now and have taken a picture of the breaker. It's the last one down (B32 61/B32 for the down sockets). In terms of the JB above it, that's behind a wooden strut. I might just be able to get to it, unless this one is potentially suitable?

I have a two pole voltage & vontinuity tester. The greyish wire goes into a fused switch which I found once I removed the chimney! Picture attached.

So I've taken the chimney off and can see a fused socket up there! Picture attached...

I've places a picture of the cooker hood controls here. Nope, when the fan goes off it certainly doesn't appear to be that! The fan itself is within the duct (where the arrow on the picture I've attached is). In terms of the connector, this appears to go into the motor connector and then...

So in terms of that switch when I turn it on, it makes a fan noise, but that doesn't turn on the cooker hood, which I presume has no power! I've attached a picture of the cooker hood head on! I have a two pole voltage and continuity tester coming tomorrow.

Hi All My cooker hood hasn't worked since moving into my place and I can't seem to work out why... I've attached some pictures of the current setup of it. Three pictures are of the inside of the hood and also the grey wire that leads through the wall to the other side (the room with the...

Okay great - I'll order one now. Where do I go from there?
