I have a NuTone Allure WS2 range hood. The fan works fine, so does the control board seem ok, but the lights work only intermittently. NuTone tech support said to replace the control board, which I suspect is its kneejerk response. The board costs almost $200--and for two lights???
My problem is similar to the one whose lights work, fan doesn't, but I have a feeling my problem is different.I hope simpler.
Thanks in advance for help (light) on the problem anyone can offer.
Hi Mertl, I sure hope you found the solution since, but I am posting the answer for other people like me (and you) who need to find it !
The service manual says:
To replace the fuse:
1. Disconnect power at service entrance.
2. Remove filters, bottom panel, light wire harness, and air chute.
The fuse is actually right behind the fan controls, so to access it you need to disassemble everything that's in the way.
BTW, for anyone wondering if it's the fuse that's faulty, here's a clue:
If the fuse has opened (blown), the green fan-level indicators will operate properly when the fan buttons/switches are pressed - but the fan and lights will not turn on.
The fuse is a 5 x 20 mm, 10 Amp, Fast-Acting, 125V (min.).
Good luck all !
Its forsure 100% guaranteed to be the control board. Its located right behind where you push the buttons. You must remove the sticker (button pad) to access the three screws retaining the control board to remove it. The new control assembly comes with a new stickers.
Had same problem & fuse fixed it.
Before buying a new control board (approx $160), check the 3 amp fuse located on the inside of the vent on the control board. You have to take the light/bottom housing & black plastic air chute off to see control board/fuse.
The problem is the little lever in the socket. Turn breaker of fan off, grab a flat head screw driver and lift the little lever slighty like a 45 deg angle. If not the replacement socket assembly is
part # R111630 comes in a pair. I do service calls for broan & Nutone
