Indesit cooker hood H593 IX - help needed re PCB fuses?
I pressed on/fan speed 1 button on front of cooker hood & there was a loud bang & now nothing works. Looking inside hood behind where the on/off fan speed/bulb holder Control Board PCB is, I spotted the glass part of one bulb had totally blown off. Please let me know if the Control Board PCB in the hood has a fuse inside that may have blown or is the fuse located in the chimney Main PCB or are there fuses in both PCB's ?
Got a electrician friend to look & established the problem was blown small glass fuse specification T 3.15 amp (T meaning time-delay and important to use same type rather than F 3.15 amp) located in the Main PCB in the chimney part of the hood rather than on the smaller secondary PCB which has the light/fan on& off buttons located on the front of the cooker hood.
Got a packet of 10 T 3.15 amp fuses yesterday from Maplins for about £3 & now working fine again.......hope this posting helps.

The 3 amp wall socket fuse has not blown, and I am aware from previous answers there indisit located a small glass fuse in the PCB but it is unclear if in hood or chimney PCB or both.

Any fusing will (should) be in the wall plug / wall connection - typically 3 Amp.
To place a fuse inside the unit would not assist the ease of maintenance and would be unnecessarily costly to manufacture given an external fuse.
This is all guesswork - I am not a kitchen fitter.
Good Luck...
