Light Bulb Replacement

Range hood light bulbs will burn out over time. Below are replacement instructions for the types of bulbs used in Vent-A-Hood® range hoods.

Safety is important when is comes to replacing a light bulb of a range hood. The first thing to remember is to turn off power and allow lights to cool before proceeding.

LED Bulbs (Magic Lung Models)

Replace the bulb with a genuine factory replacement part (Vent-A-Hood® part number P1350).

1. Use caution when pulling down on the old bulb to prevent the springs from snapping back against your hand. See Fig. 1 and Fig. 2.

2. Once the bulb is hanging beneath the light panel (Fig. 3), simply disconnect the old bulb from the harness via the quick connect adapter.

3. Remove and discard the wire and plug section from the harness on the new bulb. Connect the new bulb to the hood wiring harness via the quick connect adapter.

4. While securing the slack in the wires, feed the wires into the light panel and insert the new bulb into the panel opening. You will need to press the springs on the bulb far enough backward to be able to fit them into the light panel. Use caution when inserting the new bulb to prevent the springs from snapping back against your hand or the light casing.

5. Turn the power on at the service disconnecting means on the service panel and test all blower and light functions to ensure they are operating properly.

Halogen Bulbs or LED Bulbs (V-Line, ARS, M Series)

To remove the bulb, turn it counter clockwise. If the light is difficult to remove, obtain a bulb suction cup from a lighting or hardware store. Replace the bulb with a PAR20 120 volt, 50 watt halogen bulb (Vent-A-Hood® part number P1130) or with a GU10 120 volt, 50 watt halogen bulb (Vent-A-Hood® part number P1110) for newer models.

Hold the new lamp at each end and rotate it slowly into the sockets until it locks into position.

To remove the starter, turn the starter counter clockwise (when looking into the starter). Replace the starter with a FS-2 type starter (Vent-A-Hood® part number P1105).
