Official Dacor range hood parts

Most common Dacor vent hood parts that need replacing

• User interface control. This part helps control the exhaust fan and light on your Dacor range hood. Replace the user interface control if buttons don't respond when pressed.
• Electronic control board. The electronic control board receives signals from the user interface control and sends current to lights and the exhaust fan. Replace the electronic control board if it doesn't send current to the fan or lights.
• Transformer. The transformer converts AC current to low voltage DC current to supply LED lights with power in your Dacor range hood. You may need to replace the transformer if LED lights aren't getting power.
• Dacor range hood light switch. The light switch turns on and off the cooktop lights under the range hood. Replace the switch if it doesn't send power to the lights when you turn the switch on.

How to troubleshoot your Dacor range how when it won't work at all

Lack of electrical power, a failed electronic control board, faulty user interface control, failed fan or light switches, a bad fan motor or bad light sockets can prevent the range hood from working at all.

Check the house circuit breaker and reset if tripped. If the house circuit breaker didn't trip, check the range hood's electrical outlet for power by plugging a small appliance or lamp into the outlet to see if the outlet works. If the outlet works, leave the range hood's power cord unplugged and check the power cord wiring to the range hood control. Reconnect loose power cord wires or replace the power cord if it's damaged.

With the power cord still unplugged, check the electronic control board for burn marks that indicate a control board failure. Replace the control board if you find burn marks on the circuit board. If your range hood uses a user interface control to start the fan and control the lights, you may need to replace the user interface if it isn't sending signals to the electronic control board when you press user interface buttons. A user interface control is a keypad and display panel that sends signals to the electronic control board through a ribbon wire cable when you press its selection buttons. DIY testing of the user interface control isn't available for most range hood models, so you can't tell whether a failed electronic control board or a failed user interface control is preventing the range hood from working. If the electronic control board doesn't respond when you press the power button, it’s likely you need to replace the electronic control. If the range hood still doesn't power up after replacing the electronic control board, it’s likely you need to replace the user interface control.
