Raise and lower switch stopped working on downdraft power vent
In the process of diagnosing the problem, the circuit board burned out and the fan switch broke. Had a great deal of difficulty removing the unit. Had to disconnect gas line to range top and remove it first before I could remove the downdraft unit. I still had to get some crazy glue to hold down new microswitch on top of the unit. It is finally working fine now.

Downdraft wouldn't work at all..... broken sensor
I pulled up the wires that the membrane switch hooks to and connected the new one with the new sensor pushed them down the opening. Took the sticky paper off the up and down button and stuck it too the indentation where it goes and there you have it as good as new! Works great!

Vent will go up and down repeatedly and continually when you push the membrane switch. It will stop randomly either in the up or down position. Could this be the membrane switch?
For model number JVB94SH1SS
Hi Bob, thank you for your question. It could be your membrane switch but if that part is not the issue then the issue may actually be in your control board. I hope that helps. Good luck with your repair.
GE retractable vent stuck in the up position. When I hit the membrane switch down option i don't feel the clicking noise like when I hit the up option. Could the switch be bad

Telescoping vent is stuck in down position.I had to unplug the vent as the motor continues to run. Telescoping vent looks sucked down to frame more than usual. Do you think it is faulty switch? I unplugged the up and down switch and motor sounds like it is still trying to lower telescoping vent.

Hi Nancy, Thank you for the question. I suggest replacing the Vent Hood Control Board,PartSelect Number PS953858. This is the board that control the vent from moving up and down. Hope this helps!

I replaced the control board in my GE downdraft vent however the problem has not gone away. My vent will automatically shut off and lower itself and occasionally turn on and raise itself up. Would this membrane switch be the likely cause?Thank you!
