First, unplug the range hood, then remove the switch cover plate, held by two Phillips screws. Remove the switch knob and the hex nut on the front of the hood.(In my case, the hex nut had snapped off with the threaded part of the switch in it.) Then gently pull the switch away from the hood and write down which color wire (black, yellow,

white) connects to which receptacle on the switch. The receptacles on the rear of the switch are marked L,1,2 and 3. 3 is left blank. Snip the wires from the switch, getting as close to the body of the switch as possible. Pulling them from the push-in receptacles doesn't work. Using a wire stripper, strip off about 1/2 inch of the wire insulation. Twist the exposed wires tightly and insert into the appropriate receptacles so that no bare wire shows. Insert the face of the switch into the hole on the hood so that the threaded portion protrudes. Using the hex nut provided, tighten snugly with an adjustable wrench. Do not over-tighten. Reattach the knob. Most of this repair went quickly and smoothly, but, despite repeated efforts, the threaded portion of the new switch did not fit through the original hole in the hood. As a result, I used a drill to enlarge the hole. The result was satisfactory but the new switch is not seated as well as the original. The knob does not line up exactly in the On, Off, Nite Light positions.

It was a simple fix. Disconnect the power from the unit, Remove the switch guard/cover, Pry the wire loose with a small screwdriver. As you remove the wires connect them to the new switch, make sure you insert the wires in the same position as the old switch, everything is numbered or has a letter. After connecting the wires, screw the sw
