# Dacor hood light and control service

### The smallest hood job and the most common call

LED modules fail one at a time, so a single dark lamp is a module or its driver rather than a hood at the end of its life; a whole strip dark points at the driver or the supply. The glass touch controls on the canopy hoods fail first on the keys nearest the heat, which produces a panel that responds to some presses and not others. Both are short visits, and a photograph of the hood from underneath usually decides what goes on the van before anybody leaves.

What this involves

One dark lamp is a module; all dark is the driver or the supply

Touch panels that half respond are usually the panel, not the board

A photo from below decides what goes on the van

Establish the pattern

Which lamps, at what brightness, and whether they flicker. Dimming before failure points at the driver.

Test the control's response

Every key, several times. A panel that fails on the keys nearest the heat has a familiar and physical explanation.

Replace and check together

Lights and controls share a supply on these hoods, and fixing one can reveal the other.

### Can I change the lamp myself?

On many of these hoods the module is reachable from below and it is a reasonable job. What is worth avoiding is buying modules before knowing whether the driver is at problem.

### The lights dimmed for weeks before they went.

That is the driver announcing itself in advance, and it is useful information — replacing modules on a failing driver wastes money.
