# La Cornue hood lighting and remote repair cost

### The page that tries to talk you out of a visit

Two of the three problems on it are things an owner can settle in a minute: a remote battery, and a single blown lamp. We publish that because a hood is a $17,400 appliance and calling somebody out for a bulb is not a good use of anybody’s afternoon. What genuinely needs us is a receiver that has stopped answering, a four-speed control that has lost its lower speeds, or a socket that kills every lamp put into it — and knowing which control path still works tells us which of those before we arrive.

What moves this figure

from $165 — the cheapest repair we do

A single lamp is often a customer job and we say so

Which control path works is the diagnosis

Lamp or socket

One lamp is a bulb. Two or three at once is a socket or a supply problem.

Which control path

In-hood buttons, remote, or neither. That single answer decides the part.

Whether it is the battery

Free, thirty seconds, and the answer more often than anybody admits.

One speed or all

A four-speed control that has lost its lower taps is a control, not a motor.

Which canopy

Château hoods use three 20-watt lamps; the newer inserts use LEDs.

### Can I change a hood lamp myself?

Usually yes, and we would rather tell you than take the call. Power off, hood cool, and expect a stiff cover. The range's oven lamp too — La Cornue's own guide states it is not a warranty part and tells you to ask for a G9 halogen at any electrical shop. Stop if a new lamp does not light, or if several went at once.

### Only the top speed works. Is that expensive?

No — it is the speed control rather than the motor almost every time, and it sits inside this figure. Worth fixing rather than living with: the low speeds are what a hood is meant to run at while something simmers, and a hood nobody switches on because it is deafening is a hood that is not protecting the kitchen.
