Distinguish a fan fault from an airflow concern
Describe the available fan speeds, whether the sound has changed and whether the issue is constant or intermittent. If you know whether air is ducted outdoors or recirculated, include that information. Mention any normal filter maintenance or kitchen alterations already undertaken. A running fan with poor extraction does not by itself establish that the motor is faulty.
Lighting, controls and access at height
Tell us whether the lamps, display and controls respond separately. For an island, ceiling or high-mounted hood, give the approximate mounting arrangement and access restrictions. Do not climb onto worktops or remove electrical covers to locate the label. Ductwork alterations and the appliance’s own repair may need different scopes, so describe both if you suspect a fitting problem.
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
- Bosch model reference and chimney, built-in, island or ceiling fitting.
- Whether lights, controls and each fan speed respond.
- Ducted or recirculating arrangement, if already known.
- Height, access limitations and recent changes to the kitchen or ductwork.
Identify the exact Bosch model
Bosch’s model finder identifies the E-Nr, FD and serial-number details on the appliance rating label. Bosch UK model-number 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.

If you are considering a replacement
When replacing a fitted hood, check the mounting space, duct or recirculation arrangement and access for removal. Discuss changes to cupboards, outlets or electrical connections before agreeing the installation.

Bosch cooker hood repair questions
Can you assess a hood when the lights still work?
Yes. Explain that the lighting works and describe what happens when you request extraction. A working lamp does not confirm the condition of the fan or its controls, and the exact hood model remains important.
Is new ducting included in a cooker hood repair?
Not automatically. Tell the office if you also need ducting, a new outlet or a change of fitting. Those works must be assessed and agreed rather than assumed to be part of replacing an appliance component.
Does a Bosch cooker hood filter indicator mean the motor has failed?
Not by itself. Bosch explains that a saturation indicator can remind you to clean the grease filter or change the odour filter. Check the exact E-Nr's handbook for the symbol, filter type and permitted care; do not assume every filter can be washed or every model uses the same reset buttons. Tell us if extraction is also poor or the fan has stopped. Do not climb onto a worktop or remove electrical covers to investigate.
