What Blower Will Not Start means on your Asko range hood (asko range hood not working)
This is a symptom, not an Asko error code — Asko’s hood manuals, including CG1, CO4927S, and CBB901SB, contain no troubleshooting or error-code section at all, only safety, installation, filter maintenance, and specification content. A blower that will not start regardless of speed setting is one of the most common calls on any range hood, Asko included, and the underlying causes are mechanical and electrical rather than anything the control panel can report. On a hood that “does not work,” it pays to check power and the switch before assuming the motor itself has failed.
Symptoms
The list below helps you separate this problem on your Asko range hood from other problems that can look almost identical. Your range hood might show just one of these signs or several at once, creeping in over several cycles or appearing suddenly after a power cut, a heavy load, a spill, or recent installation work.
- Pressing any fan speed button produces no sound or airflow
- The lights on the hood may still work while the fan does not
- A faint humming is heard but the blower does not spin
- The fan worked intermittently before stopping entirely
Common causes
Different underlying problems can surface the same way on your Asko range hood, so the causes below run in order of probability. Clearing them one by one separates a quick check on the range hood from a repair that genuinely needs trained service and genuine parts.
- Failed blower motor — the motor windings have opened or the bearings have seized
- Bad run capacitor — the capacitor that helps the motor start has failed, especially if a hum is heard without spinning
- Faulty fan speed switch — the control that sends power to the motor is not passing current
- Tripped breaker or blown fuse — the circuit feeding the hood has lost power entirely
Troubleshooting steps you can try
Work these checks on your Asko range hood in the given order first — you may not need a technician at all. Stop wherever you are unsure on the range hood, or where live electricity, gas, heat, water, or a sealed part is involved, and let a qualified professional carry on.
- Check that the hood is receiving power by testing the lights or any indicator on the panel.
- Confirm the breaker feeding the hood circuit has not tripped.
- Try each fan speed individually in case only one speed setting has failed.
- Listen closely for a hum with no spin, which points toward a capacitor rather than a dead motor.
Parts a technician may replace

Each part is matched to the range hood by model, serial, and Art. No., and genuine OEM or trusted-supplier components are fitted to the range hood rather than generic ones, so the fix holds.
