What All backlights blinking on and off indefinitely
actually means.
Holding Med for 3 seconds opens the screen where you choose the fan and light levels the hood uses when a paired appliance turns it on. The backlights blink the whole time, and the fan and light jump to the stored levels so you can see them. Holding Power for 3 seconds saves and exits.

What to do when All backlights blinking on and off indefinitely 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
Set the fan and light to the levels you want the paired appliance to call up.
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 Café's own guidance for All backlights blinking on and off indefinitely on its range hoods. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Set the fan and light to the levels you want the paired appliance to call up.
Hold Power for 3 seconds to save and leave the mode.
Check that the backlights stop blinking and the hood returns to its earlier state.
If the blinking will not stop, switch the breaker off for 30 seconds; if it comes back, book a visit.
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
Endless blinking here is a setup screen, not a failing control board. The brief three-flash burst is pairing success, and a roll across Low, Med and High is Delay Off.
