What Speed indicator LED flashing after pressing delay-off
actually means.
The delay-off function keeps the blower running for 10 minutes to clear the kitchen and then stops it. On the WPP1 the light for the current speed flashes while the timer runs; on the HBN and WC touch controls a separate delay-off indicator stays lit. You can change the speed during the countdown without restarting it.

What to do when Speed indicator LED flashing after pressing delay-off shows on the range hoodKind of codeMode, not a failure
The hood is doing something it was told to do, not wearing out: a delay-off timer that keeps the blower running for some minutes after the burners go off, a heat sentry that starts the fan by itself when it senses a hot pan, a Sabbath setting that locks the keys and dims the lights, or a link to the cooking surface that sets the speed on its own. No part is needed; a key sequence from the manual, or simply waiting, ends it.
Usually leads toNo repair
Leave it alone if you want the timer; the hood shuts off after 10 minutes.
Shows up asReading a Range Hood Error Code or Blinking Light
A range hood error code may appear as letters and numbers on a display, a light that blinks in a pattern, a filter reminder that will not clear, or a beep with the fan refusing to start.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from BEST's own guidance for Speed indicator LED flashing after pressing delay-off on its range hoods. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Leave it alone if you want the timer; the hood shuts off after 10 minutes.
Press delay-off again to cancel and return to normal running.
If the light keeps flashing after the blower has stopped, book a visit to check the control.
Cleared?
The code is gone and the blower pulls steam up on every speed again without a new part. If it returns this week, or the filter reminder keeps coming back right after a cleaning, mention it in the booking.
What not to do
A single flashing speed light during delay-off is not the filter reminder, which flashes all four speed lights together on the WPP1. It is not Heat Sentry either, which flashes speed 4 while holding speed 3.
