    Electrical Issue with Heng's Range Hood in 2018 Salem

    Hello! I have a potentially stupid question. Our vent hood fan stopped working and we were trying to use a multimeter to test the rocker switches, wires, et cetera to figure out what part needed replaced. Our fuse panel doesn't have the vent fuse, so we unscrewed a few pieces off the hood to...
