# La Cornue hood lighting and remote repair

### About hood lights and controls

Three 20-watt high-intensity lamps on the Château canopies, LEDs on the newer inserts, and two separate control paths — in-hood activation and a remote. Which of the two still works is the diagnosis, and it is one sentence on the phone: a hood that answers its own buttons but not the remote is a receiver or a battery, not a motor. Single lamps are often a customer job and we say so; two or three out at once is a socket or a supply problem and worth a visit.

What this involves

Single lamps are often a customer job and we say so

Remote and in-hood controls tested as separate paths

Two or three lamps out at once is a socket or supply problem, not bulbs

Try both control paths

Which one works is the diagnosis, and it is one sentence on the phone.

Establish which path works

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

Lamps and sockets

Three 20 W high-intensity lamps on a Château hood, LEDs on the inserts. Two out at once is a socket or supply problem.

Receiver and batteries

A hood that answers itself and not the remote is a receiver problem, and often a battery one.

Test all four speeds and the lights together

Control problems hide in the combination rather than in either alone.

### Can I change a lamp myself?

Usually yes. 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.

### The remote has stopped entirely.

Change the battery first: free, thirty seconds, and the answer more often than anybody admits. If the in-hood buttons still work and a fresh battery changes nothing, it is the receiver, which is an ordinary part.
