Faber Appliance Repair in Three Bridges

Why are the control panel buttons not responding on my Faber cooker hood?

Control panel buttons not responding on a Faber cooker hood may be caused by grease buildup, loose cable connections, or a faulty control board. Switch off at the mains, clean the control panel with a soft damp cloth, and leave unplugged for 10 minutes to reset. Symptoms may vary by model, so consult your instruction manual for model-specific guidance. If the issue persists, contact a qualified technician.

Why is my Faber cooker hood not extracting properly?

Reduced extraction on a Faber cooker hood is usually caused by clogged filters, blocked ducting, or stuck damper flaps. Clean the grease filters thoroughly, replace charcoal filters for recirculation hoods, check the exterior vent for blockages, and ensure ducting is not kinked. If suction remains weak, contact a qualified technician.

Why are all LED buttons flashing twice on my Faber cooker hood?

When all LED buttons flash twice simultaneously on a Faber cooker hood, it indicates that the control lock mode has been activated or deactivated. This safety feature prevents accidental changes to hood settings during cleaning. To toggle the lock, press and hold the designated button according to your model's instructions. This is a confirmation signal, not an error.

Why are the lights not working on my Faber cooker hood?

If the lights on your Faber cooker hood do not illuminate but the motor works, it may be a bulb, LED strip, or driver failure. Switch off at the mains before any inspection. For halogen models, you may check and replace the bulb with a matching type, avoiding direct skin contact with the new bulb. For LED models, contact a qualified technician as LED components require technical expertise to replace. Consult your instruction manual for model-specific bulb specifications.

Why does my Faber cooker hood turn on by itself?

If your Faber cooker hood turns on automatically without manual activation, it is likely equipped with a heat sensor that detects high temperatures from your hob. This safety feature activates the extraction fan when excess heat builds up, helping to remove smoke and prevent overheating. Some models also feature K-Link technology that synchronises the hood with a compatible Faber induction hob, automatically adjusting extraction based on cooking intensity. This is normal operation for hoods with these features.

What duct diameter should I use for my Faber cooker hood?

For cooker hoods with an extraction rate of 300 m³/h or higher, a duct diameter of 150mm is optimal. Alternatively, 120mm ducting may be used. Always use smooth galvanized metal ducting and maintain the same diameter throughout the entire duct run for best performance.

What is the minimum installation height for a Faber cooker hood above an electric or induction hob?

The minimum distance between the cooker hood and an electric or induction hob is 65cm. If the hob has a larger cooking area, the hood may need to be positioned slightly higher to provide complete coverage.

How do I find the model and serial number of my Faber cooker hood?

The model and serial number of your Faber cooker hood are printed on the label located inside the hood. To access this label, switch off the hood at the mains, then remove the grease filters to reveal the white identification label underneath.

Why is my Faber cooker hood remote control not working?

First check whether the batteries need replacing and install fresh CR2032 batteries if necessary. If this does not solve the problem, the remote control receiver on the hood may be deactivated and needs to be reactivated through the hood's control panel.

When should I turn on my Faber cooker hood?

Turn on your cooker hood at least one minute before you start cooking. This allows proper air circulation to be established before cooking vapours and odours are produced.
