extractor cooker hood with blown bulb

I would guess the resulting fault current damaged the light switch or burned out a thin wire or track. I can't imagine it would be difficult to fix.

BTW, I always use CFL's in cooker hoods, not being susceptable to the fan vibration.

Light switch is often the weakest link, and an internal arc in a bulb can take them out. Could be anything else though. Multimeter will tell you where the fault is. If the switch, fit a new one or open it and file the contacts clean. CFLs dont cause this problem.

I've had screw in bulbs that don't quite make contact.

I have repaired a couple of extractors where the tracks have blown. I have not had to replace a switch yet.
