Ikea cooker hood

Nov 17, 2007 1 Replies

Went to look at a job today to fit a couple of new doors



whilst there client said extractor hood had not worked since moved into the house



Its an Ikea Hoo 411s made by whirlpool



Took filter panels out of hood but could see no wiring to the hood, the only cable visible being the one from the fan housing to the controls on the front.



Anyone know where the mains connection should be on this model?



Could not see how the fan came out either



The charcoal filter casings to the fan and internal panels of the hood were absolutely pristine



There was no outside vent even though it was on an external wall with easy access from the outside



Some one had cut holes into each side of the stainless chimney and siliconed in mesh panels presumably to use as a recirculating system



Incidentally I could find no external isolator or fused spur box anywhere in the area either and assume that one would be required for Part P



They also have living flame gas fire which has a gas pipe to it but no gas at the fire there is no evidence of a stop tap and the pipe is exposed until it goes through the ceiling The old iron gas pipe I guess for an gas fire is used for most of the visible length and there is a disconnected iron pipe in the meter cupboard and a capped off tee on the copper pipe for the gas supply to the boiler



Regards
