What All collars around the buttons lit after MEMORY/OFF
actually means.
On these hoods, MEMORY/OFF recalls a saved fan and light setting. If nothing has been stored, pressing it lights all the collars and the hood seems to ignore you. Saving a setting once fixes it until the power is lost.

What to do when All collars around the buttons lit after MEMORY/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
Press MEMORY/OFF, set the fan and light to the levels you use most, and press MEMORY/OFF again to save them.
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 GE Profile's own guidance for All collars around the buttons lit after MEMORY/OFF on its range hoods. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Press MEMORY/OFF, set the fan and light to the levels you use most, and press MEMORY/OFF again to save them.
Press MEMORY/OFF once more and confirm the hood returns to that setting.
After a power cut, save the setting again, since the memory is cleared when power is lost.
If the collars all light and the hood still will not run after saving, 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
All collars lighting at once does not mean every button is stuck. It is the opposite of the stuck-button pattern, where a collar stays dark when pressed.
