One (aka a DiYer) would like to know where the fuse is located first. Otherwise good video.

I notice my switch of the hood fan for the light switch shorts out once in a while? Could that be a loose wire, or loose ground wire? The fan switch is ok, it is just the light switch on the hood.

I have a Samsung and the control board got wet. Now, it’s dead. Any ideas please ?

It's definitely a button, light works, fan doesn't. First started to be like loose contact. If I put my finger onto the pressed button it would work.

I seem to be able to buy a set of buttons.
Smeg hood looks different from that in vid.

I now need to find out how to open it to exchange a set of Klick klock buttons😅
