Is the extractor fan in your rental home not working? Don’t worry, it's not always broken. Before contacting maintenance, try these quick checks:

  • Turn off the stove's fuse for a few minutes, then turn it back on.

  • Reset the residual-current device (RCD) in the fuse box.

  • If the range hood doesn’t seem to be pulling air, hold a piece of paper towel against the filter. Does it move?

  • Clean the filter. See our video below for instructions.
