K44.z.902.300 I have a Zephyr range hood model k44.z.902.300, the buttons are falling out and the light wont come on. I've found the bulbs on bulbs.com, but i think the hood has a short in the circuit board. Does anyone know who will work on this hood.

not screwing it in tight
not twisting is bayonet type or if fluro tube not rotating the tube 1/4 turn after instakking

I could not turn the bulb, and the rubber glove approach did not work. I unscrewed and removed the middle cover, which meant I could easily reach inside and turn the whole light bulb fixture.

What model range hood do you have? To remove most of the bulbs from a Zephyr hood, wait for the bulb to cool after use. Then rotate the bulb counter-clockwise about 60 degrees (less than a quarter turn) and the bulb should drop down. If you have problems turning the bulb, try the glass suction cup that comes with the hood or a rubber/latex glove grip. Sometimes a rubber jar grip will also work.

The one way to find out your range hood bulb may be to remove one and look at the side/back. The bulbs are labeled. Otherwise, check your manual. Zephyr has the manuals for most of their ranges here: http://zephyronline.com/customer_support . Use the drop-down menu to select your model.

Different hoods use different bulbs. For AK6500, 6536, 6542 Cyclone hoods, purchase type: 4OR 14 mini flood light bulbs. For the AK2500, 2536 hoods, you need to purchase type GU 10 halogen bulbs. For the Anzio models, including the ZAN-E30AS, get a GU-10 50W halogen bulb.

I hope this helps.

Check out the zephyr Site. The halogen bulbs they use are very unique. Have two clients that have Zephyr hoods and took me a while to locate replacement bulbs. Could not find them at the local lighting stores nor hardware stores. I believe it is a 35 watt halogen (sort of an MR-16 size) with an entended base.

Try taking out the bulbs and wiping with a clean dry cloth. Sometimes when bulbs get hot the connection loosens, when you screw them back in do not over tighten.

According to the "Use, Care and Installation Guide for your unit,
Replacement bulbs are available at
specialty lighting stores. Purchase type
JDR E27 50W halogen bulbs.

Hi elenara, try applying slight upward pressure as you turn the bulb. Remember righty tighty, lefty loosy. This worked for us, now if I could only find a replacement bulb. Good luck!

The easiest way to remove the light bulb is to wear a rubber glove, use your palm to press against the bulb, and turn counter-clockwise.

The suction created by the rubber glove should allow you to remove the light bulb easily.

Chris, I googled and found this

probably available at a lightbulbs unlimited or other lightbulb store.
Maybe even a Home Depot or Lowes.
