What Filter button lit
actually means.

Fisher & Paykel's Wi-Fi hoods carry a filter cleaning button that lights to say the filters want attention. The guide asks for cleaning at least once a month anyway, more often with heavy cooking. One press after cleaning resets it.

What to do when Filter button lit shows on the range hood

Kind of codeFilter reminders

The hood has counted enough hours of fan time to ask for its filters: the mesh or baffle grease filters want a wash, or on a recirculating hood the charcoal filters want replacing. Most hoods count hours rather than measure grease, so the light comes on whether the filters are clean or not, and it stays on until it is reset with the key the manual names. A reminder that returns straight after a reset, or a hood that still pulls weakly with fresh filters, is worth a visit.

Usually leads toRange hood filter and baffle service

Cleaning or replacing what catches grease and odor: mesh and baffle filters, charcoal pads on recirculating hoods, and the grease channel.

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 Fisher & Paykel's own guidance for Filter button lit on its range hoods. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.

01

Switch the hood off at the power before cleaning, as the guide asks.

02

Pull each filter's catch, tilt it down and lift it off; on the insert, open the perimeter plate first.

03

Wash the filters in hot soapy water or upright in the dishwasher, dry them and refit them.

04

Press the filter button once to reset; book a visit if it will not go out.

Still there?

It usually turns into range hood filter and baffle service. Book with the code and the model number.

What not to do

The lit button is not a blower or ducting problem; low airflow with clean filters points to the duct instead. The carbon filters of a recirculating hood are replaced on their own schedule, at least every three months.

Questions
about Filter button lit.

Can I clear Filter button lit myself?
Switch the hood off at the power before cleaning, as the guide asks. If it comes back, it needs a visit.
How do I get the filters out of a Fisher & Paykel insert hood?
Open the perimeter plate first, then pull the filter catch and tilt the filter down until it comes free of its supports.
Can Fisher & Paykel hood filters be machine washed?
Yes. Stand them upright so food from the dishes does not fall onto them.
Can I run my Fisher & Paykel hood with the filters out?
No. The guide says not to operate the hood without filters in place.

Back to your everyday

Still showing Filter button lit?

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.
