Find the house wires to the switch (or switches) and check for voltages being there and then the switches being good.

Sometimes, if the fan isn't used much, the grease / dirt deposits on the motor shaft build up enough to prevent the shaft from turning on start up, it doesn't take much.

try: Remove the filter to expose the fan blades, spin the fan by hand to ensure that the shaft moves freely - if this was the problem the fan should now work, in which case run it on high for a few minutes.

How do you wire a new 110 stove vent fan to another vent fan downstream and still use the switch on the new stove vent?

Please note that if you have to ask a question like this then you probably aren't qualified to do electrical work and for your personal safety I suggest that you find someone that is to do the work. That being said a qualified electrician would land or splice your wire on the line side of the existing fan switch. The existing fan switch won't control the new fan but the new fan will be on the same circuit. This is called wiring in parallel.

How to determine what kind of range hoods are the best for your kitchen?

You are remodeling the kitchen and decided to go with a professional sized gas stove top built into the island. You never had that type of setup before. You always had a free standing stove with a range hood above it. How do you attach range hoods where you have no cabinets to fasten them to? There is an easy solution, a downdraft range hood.The range hood for that type of scenario is built into the lower cabinet, directly in back of the stove stop. Only a small portion of the range hood shows when not in use. When you cook, just push a button and the range hood will rise and do what range hoods are supposed to do. Problem solved.If you have a regular set-up with a free standing stove and a short cabinet above, then you have the perfect arrangement for a normal range hood. The hood would be attached to the bottom of the small upper cabinet and should be vented to the outside. When turned on, that vent should send the cooking smells to the outside. If your range hood is not vented, then it is not doing the job.This type of range hood comes in white, black, or stainless and you may find an almond color in some stores. They usually have a light kit built in and the venting fan normally has at lest two speeds. These types of range hoods are rather inexpensive. It is something you need to finish off the space, if you do not want a microwave oven with a vent. Perhaps you just bought a counter-top microwave, which you are happy with. Then all you need is the inexpensive range hood and have it vented properly.If you want the built in microwave with a built in vent, go for it. This is the look that most people currently go with. It frees up counter-top space and it has a vent and a light built in.Depending on where your stove or cook top is located in your kitchen will pay a role in determining which type of range hoods is the best for you
