Neff cooker hood troubleshooting

Neff cooker hood lights not working

This could simply be due to a damaged extractor light bulb located under the light cover. The grease filter may need to be removed to make for easier access. The bulb holder can stop the light from working or it could be the lamp itself that has a broken filament.

You should bear in mind that if you run the lights constantly you increase the risk of burning the plastic clips or holders that secure the lamp glass in place and that can lead to the lamp coming away from the holder. Leaving the lights on for extended periods can also affect the electronic modules that switch the lights on and off, causing more complex issues.

If the bulbs blow every time the cooker hood is switched on this can indicate a problem with the mains voltage supply or issues with the control module or the control switch. Failing circuits will result in the lights not working at all and these wiring issues can be caused by the bulbs overheating.

Only using the extractor lights when you need them is the key to keeping them in good working order.

If your cooker hood won’t work the possible causes are often power supply related. This could be a power cut, a defective connection to the power supply itself, faulty wiring, or a defective fuse. The power socket or switch may also be the culprit. A qualified electrician will quickly find the source of any problems and effectively fix them for you.

Neff cooker hood has poor extraction If your cooker hood doesn't seem to be drawing the air from the kitchen properly it may be due to motor failure and this will only be resolved by the motor being replaced. But it can be a ventilation issue which is stopping the extractor from working properly. It’s well worth checking on the outside of the building to see if there’s any blockage in the vents or if the slats have become locked.

Other Neff cooker hood problems

Neff cooker hood smells

There are a few possible causes of a bad odour coming from the extractor fan and they are often related to dust and grease that have accumulated in the filter. If cleaning the filter doesn't resolve the problem the smell could be coming from debris or possibly a dead animal in the extraction system. Calling in a pest control expert would be your best course of action here.

Neff cooker hood noise

If the fan accumulates a build-up of grease and dirt that covers the fan blades this can cause them to become unbalanced and results in the fan shaking and rattling. Alternatively, the fan may have become dislodged and started to vibrate causing excessive noise.

If your cooker hood is constantly too noisy it can start to affect your hearing so it may be worth asking an experienced engineer to reduce the power setting with a resistor and to mount the fan on rubber washers to help reduce any vibration.
