This part is the replacement fan switch or downdraft vent fan knob for your range hood. It measures approximately 2 inches by 1 inch. The fan switch allows you to turn on the range hood fan when it is actuated, which allows the fan to dissipate odors from the cooktop. If, when you hit the button to turn on the fan, nothing happens, then you may need to replace the fan switch. To remove the switch, pull it straight off from its post and replace with the new switch. For safety purposes, be sure to disconnect the range from the power source before you begin this repair. This part is sold individually and is an OEM part sourced directly from the manufacturer.

Moderately complicated repair
The challenge with this GE glass cooktop is getting to the downdraft exhaust switch. The video was a huge help in raising the whole unit above counter height to remove the glass. Replacing the switch was easy and I didn’t have to disconnect the power. In hindsight, I should’ve had the clear double-sided tape and the black foam tape on hand. Installing them afterwards proved to be a challenge. Advice: Disconnect the power. Place the unit glass down on a soft surface and replace the clear and foam tape before reinstalling the unit. A bit more work, but you’ll be happy with the results.

Broken shaft on downdraft speed switch
The controls are on the glasstop and no way to access them from below, so the glass top has to be removed by removing any straps/braces from below and raising the rangetop housing above the counter height.
The foil tape connecting to the downdraft ductwork will need to be removed. Make sure you have foil tape to reseal this co

The black foam tape between the cooktop housing and the countertop will need to be separated with a putty knife. Be sure to have the 1/4” low density foam tape on hand for replacement.
Remove the 6 knobs by lifting them upward and then lift the housing above counter height.
The loosened housing can be supported by two pieces of 1x2 that straddle the opening. The sheet metal screws around the perimeter are easily removed and a putty knife under the glass should release the glass. Once the glass is removed, you’ll see an electrical control box with the 6 switches. The fan switch is held in place with two screws. The switch can then be accessed from the side and replaced. Just note the 4 colored wires and move them to the new switch. There’s a 5th contact that’s unused.
Reassembly is straightforward but you’ll need to remove any remaining foam tape, clean the underside and the countertop before applying the new tape.
