Cooker hood · useful observations
Extraction and lighting tell different stories.
Say which fan speeds respond and whether the lights work. A recirculating hood and an externally ducted one have different airflow arrangements.
The fan runs but airflow has changed
Distinguish the motor sound from the amount of extraction. The model, filter arrangement and ducted or recirculating installation help frame the enquiry without removing the hood.
The panel seems lifeless
Distinguish a completely dark display from a lit panel that ignores a command. Mention any previous trip or interruption without opening housings or attempting live electrical tests.
For a fitted appliance
Mention the cabinet front, plinth and adjacent units that apply. Leave the appliance connected and in place while asking about work suitability.
If someone else uses the appliance
Ask them for the last setting and any display message they observed. Keep the original observation separate from a later interpretation.
