Advice on Cooker hood fuse access to replace

[Hans]

Hi guys,

Hope i could get your help and advice please .

I have indesit HGM61X coocker hood and i believe the fuse is blown because of the blown bulb.

The power source connection or the fuse is normally behind the chimny part, and this is my problem.

I cant seem to see any screws to undo to remove the chimney cover to access the fuse on the socket or the control panel .

.........Please see attached photos.........

Please correct if i m wrong and would be most gtreaful if you could advise me on how to resolve this.

Many thanks

I suspect the coving was fitted after the hood, and the coving is concealing the screws you need to access.

Sorry if this isn't what you want to be told.

Have you looked at the back of the cupboard below and ruled out that it is not there? Maybe you pushed a pan or something back and switched it off???

That is one badly fitted hood, btw...
the trick is to look under the hood...flip off any grey wedges as they will be covering the screws...
drop the main hood then slide the chimney down...
it is very unusual for there to be a fuse on these, unless it is in a FCU or, more often, there is a socket outlet hidden in the flue, with a fused plug...odd, really...why put a socket hidden under a flue, then plug in a hood which funnels the wet steamy clouds over the socket?
but that is Kevin's Way!
I fkn HATE Kevin!!!!!

Have you tried replacing the lamp? Does the fan work?

It would seem you have no charcoal filters over your motors, which is not a good idea for recirculated air fans such as that.
If you work with a multi tool you should be able to neatly remove coving and put it back after and with a good bit of redecoration no-one will ever know.

I m not sure if i could do that .Is there any chance of entering from outside of the house ? I mean from extracting kit ?

Or Feed another power cord to it rather than fixing the fuse on the power point behind the chimney ?I am trying to avoid messing up with coving .

Yes nofiliter, but it just going to extract the air to outside , think no big deal ?

All the grease and fat from cooking will eventually kill the motor.

Kevin is our nickname for kitchen fitters. like willie wet pants for plumber, jumbo jaws for joiner, bob bodgit for builder, you get the drift?
and your onnly resource is to cut the coving.
