Filter reminders have model-specific care
AEG's hood guidance associates F with grease-filter care and C with carbon-filter care. Whether a carbon filter can be cleaned or must be changed depends on the model. Follow its permitted routine maintenance and reset instructions; do not clear a reminder as a substitute for care or use another control panel's sequence.
Separate fan control and airflow
Tell us which speeds work, whether lights operate and whether manual controls differ from any automatic hob-linked function fitted. Explain an outside duct versus recirculation and recent kitchen work. Poor extraction with a running fan is a different enquiry from a motor that does not start.
High-mounted labels and fitting
Use accessible paperwork for model/PNC if the label is out of reach. Do not climb on the cooker, remove the hood or reach into the fan. Report height and cabinet constraints. A replacement needs its mounting and ventilation reviewed separately; suitability is not promised from appearance alone.
Safe checks and deciding your next step
For checks that do not involve dismantling the appliance, read the cooker hood safety guidance. If you are weighing up a repair and a replacement, see what affects that decision. Your exact model handbook takes precedence over general guidance.
Details to include with this request
- Model, PNC and hood fitting type.
- C/F indication and care history if known.
- Fan speeds, lighting and manual/automatic operation.
- Duct/recirculation, height and access.
Identify the exact AEG model
AEG manuals use the model or product number/PNC to identify the product version. Copy these from safely accessible documents or a label; a feature name alone is not a complete product reference. AEG UK model and PNC manual finder
Copy the complete reference as printed, including any suffix. Use an accessible label or your appliance paperwork; leave built-in units, electrical covers and heavy appliances in place. If the label cannot be reached safely, explain this when you contact us.
For the manufacturer’s explanation of the feature discussed here, see AEG UK appliance support.
If you are considering a replacement
Send the new model, mounting style and access height. Say whether the kitchen uses an outside duct or recirculation, and mention any cupboard, mounting or ducting changes you need.

AEG cooker hood repair questions
Does F on the hood mean it has an induction fault?
No. AEG identifies a hood filter-care reminder in the relevant guidance. Read the hood manual rather than transferring the hob's meaning.
What is included in the fixed repair call-out?
For a Central London service address, the standard freestanding call-out is £90 plus parts. Integrated appliances of any brand start from £120 plus parts in Central London. Outside Central London, fixed call-out charges start from £75, depending on your appliance's make and model and whether it is freestanding, integrated or another appliance type. Our office confirms the service address and applicable amount by phone before arranging your visit. The agreed charge covers the first visit, repair labour and any return visit needed to fit parts for the same agreed repair. There is no extra labour or repeat call-out charge for that repair. Parts are priced separately and approved before fitting.
What details help with a AEG cooker hood repair enquiry?
Distinguish no extraction, reduced airflow, a light fault or controls not responding. Tell us whether air is ducted outside or recirculated. Only undertake user-accessible filter care specified by the model manual.
