Emilia Glem Rangehood Fan Speed and Lighting Faults

This Emilia Glem rangehood had two problems: the fan was not operating on all speeds, and the lights were not working.

Replacing the panel switch assembly addressed the fan speed problem and restored the lights initially. However, an intermittent lighting fault remains, so further work is required.

Panel switch assembly or control board?

When both fan speeds and lights are affected, it is not always straightforward to identify the faulty component. The panel switch assembly and the control printed circuit board (PCB) can both be possible causes.

The switch assembly contains the controls used to select fan speeds and operate the lights. The PCB contains electronic components involved in controlling the rangehood’s functions. Similar symptoms can arise from faults in either part, so the symptoms alone do not confirm which needs replacing.

Replacing the switch assembly first

For this repair, the switch assembly was the simpler and less expensive component to replace, making it a practical first step before replacing the control board.

The replacement addressed the fan speed issue, but the lights still have an intermittent problem. The repair is therefore not yet complete.

Further work on the lighting fault

The next planned step is to replace the lights. If the intermittent fault remains after that work, the control PCB will be replaced.

This staged approach allows the remaining fault to be assessed before moving on to the control board. Neither the lights nor the PCB has been confirmed as the cause of the remaining issue at this stage.
