What A button collar does not light when pressed
actually means.
Each push button on these hoods is ringed by a collar that lights when it is pressed. GE's troubleshooting links a collar that stays dark to a stuck button, and two or more dark collars to more than one stuck button. Grease and cleaner residue around the buttons is a common reason a button stops moving freely.

What to do when A button collar does not light when pressed shows on the range hoodKind of codeControl board and keypad
The electronics that read the keys and switch the fan and the lights have flagged a problem with themselves: a key the board thinks is held down, a membrane keypad worn through or soaked with grease and steam, a speed relay that stuck closed, or a board that lost its settings in a surge. A breaker reset clears a one-off; a code that returns, or a hood that ignores its keys entirely, needs the keypad and the board tested.
Usually leads toRange hood control board repair
Testing and replacing the board behind a keypad or touch strip: the relays for each speed and the lights, the timers and the power supply.
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 A button collar does not light when pressed on its range hoods. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Switch the hood off and look at the affected button: it should sit level and spring back when pressed.
Wipe around it with a damp cloth and mild detergent to clear grease, without spraying cleaner into the panel.
Reset the breaker and wait 30 seconds so the controls restart.
If the collar still stays dark, book a visit so the button panel can be tested and replaced if needed.

What not to do
Collars that stay dark while the fan runs on its own at MED are the heat sensor, not a stuck button. A hood that is dead with no collars and no fan points first to the breaker or fuse.
