792460 Genuine Switch Control Assembly for Fisher & Paykel Rangehoods, Rangehood Fan and Light Control Switch

If the buttons on your Fisher & Paykel rangehood have stopped doing their job, the switch control assembly is a likely suspect. Part 792460 is the genuine assembly from Fisher & Paykel's rangehood range, carrying the switches you press to run the fan and lights. Several rangehood switch assemblies exist, so compare 792460 with the number on your old part or in your rangehood's parts list.

Rangehood fan or lights not responding to the switches

The control assembly takes your button presses and switches power to the motor speeds and the lights. Grease and steam rise straight past it while you cook, so contacts can get sticky or corroded over the years. Typical faults are a fan that won't start, runs on only one speed or won't turn off, lights that stay dark with good globes, buttons that feel stuck or need a hard press, and controls that work only some of the time. Check the globes and the power supply before replacing the switch.

Before you swap the switch assembly

Switch the rangehood off at the wall, or at the circuit breaker if it's hard-wired, in which case a licensed electrician should do the job. Remove the filters, then the panel covering the controls. Photograph the wiring and connector positions before unplugging anything. Fit the new assembly, refit the panel and filters, then test every fan speed and the lights.

Questions about this part

Will this switch fit any Fisher & Paykel rangehood?

No, rangehood controls differ between models in size, button layout and wiring. Use the number on your old switch assembly, or look up your rangehood model's parts list. The model label is often inside the hood, visible once the filters are out.
