Hi everyone, just a quick query regarding a 3 speed chimney style extractor hood. I've been in the house about 15 months after refurbishing it. It had already been rewired but my electrician changed the layout to suit new kitchen. This fan is fed by a 13a switched fused spur and has the typical push button 3 speeds, off and light.
Just this week the fan has stopped working completely so I thought I would take a look (I'm a self employed heating/plumbing installer) so do know the (very) basics of using a multimeter etc
It would appear that I get power to the motor in all speed modes, but before I end up replacing the whole unit just wondered if there was any way I could test the capacitor as it would be a shame to chuck the whole unit if that's all that is wrong with it.
Thanks in advance.
Alex
