What Snd
actually means.
Holding the Light key for five seconds turns the hood's audible signal on or off, and Snd on the display confirms the change either way. It usually appears when someone leaned on the Light key.

What to do when Snd 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.

If the sound is now the way you want it, do nothing.
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.
MakeBosch
Bosch range hoods and downdraft vents get a home visit in which the touch controls and the fan's timed shut-off are checked before anything is opened.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from Bosch's own guidance for Snd on its range hoods. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
If the sound is now the way you want it, do nothing.
To switch it back, hold the Light key for five seconds again and watch for Snd.
If Snd appears with nobody touching the panel, book a visit to have the touch control checked.
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
Snd is not a speaker or sound-module problem. A quiet hood after seeing Snd simply has its signal turned off.

Wall-mount range hood
The chimney hood fixed to a bare stretch of wall above the burners, its canopy catching the rising smoke while a telescoping cover hides the duct that climbs to the ceiling.
Under-cabinet range hood
The slim hood screwed to the bottom of the wall cabinet over the burners, venting up through that cabinet or back through the wall, or cleaning the air and returning it to the room.
Island range hood
The hood that hangs from the ceiling over burners set into a kitchen island, open on all four sides, with its duct and wiring hidden inside a chimney that drops from above.

Questions
about Snd.
Can I clear Snd myself?
My Bosch hood stopped beeping after the display showed Snd. Is it broken?
Why does Snd show when I only wanted the lights on?
Does switching the sound off change how a Bosch hood works?
Back to your everyday
Still showing Snd?
Three things make the booking useful: the letters or blink pattern exactly as they showed, the full model number from the label behind the filters, and whether the fan still moves air on every speed. With those, the technician arrives with half the answer already worked out.
