What Link button flashing white
actually means.
Link mode lets a compatible Fisher & Paykel cooking surface switch the hood on and off as you cook. When the button flashes white, the hood has lost that link and keeps trying. You can still run the hood by hand.

What to do when Link button flashing white 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
Check that the cooking surface is on and powered.
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 Link button flashing white on its range hoods. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Check that the cooking surface is on and powered.
Restart the pairing: press link on the hood, then follow the steps on the cooking surface.
Use the hood's own buttons in the meantime.
Book a visit if pairing fails every time.
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
The link button is not the Wi-Fi button; the two connections are separate. A hood that switches itself off after four hours without a touch is its normal auto-off.

Still showing Link button flashing white?
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.
