I have a 40w incandescent bulb blowing in a cooker hood. A previous bulb was blown from the same location. After the bulb blew, a second bulb in the hood stopped working, same for the fan. Basically, the hood lost power after the bulb blowing. I am wondering if the bulb blowing caused the problem, or a problem in the hood wiring cause the bulb to blow? Can something external to the bulb cause the bulb to blow - power surge, short circuit, power drop because of load elsewhere?
Previously, I fixed it by taking the hood apart cleaning everything, dishwashed the motor, and it was working again. I did not check all the wiring connections.
