How to Fix Broan-NuTone Range Hood Error Code Lights not working

1. 1

   Replace the bulb

   Most Broan range hoods use standard appliance bulbs: 40W incandescent (A15 base), T8 halogen, or LED G8/G9 depending on the model. Check your model number at Broan.com for the exact bulb type. Turn off circuit breaker before accessing the bulb socket.

   Check the light socket

   If the replacement bulb also does not light, test the socket with a multimeter (120V AC at the socket with power on). No voltage = wiring or board issue.
