Pressing a speed key twice starts Smeg's auto power-off timer. The key's light blinks, and after ten minutes the motor and the light switch off together. Smeg range hood display · also shown as timer button flashing What to do when LED over a speed key blinking shows on the range hood ### Kind of code Mode, 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 to No repair Leave it to run if you want the hood to clear the air and stop. ### Shows up as Reading 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. ### Make Smeg A Smeg hood with a fan that won't start or lamps that won't light is seen in your kitchen, and the visit begins at its switch. ### Source Smeg instruction manual, KD, KT, KPF and KUC hood series Smeg KD, KT, KPF, KUC and KPRU push-button hoods, and KBTU and KPRU touch panels. On the touch panels the timer only starts with the fan running and is blocked while Turbo is on. ## Before you book, in this order. Each step comes from Smeg's own guidance for LED over a speed key blinking on its range hoods. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit. 01 Leave it to run if you want the hood to clear the air and stop. 02 Touch the same key again to cancel the timer on touch panels. 03 If the hood keeps running after the ten minutes, book a visit to check the panel. ### 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 A single blinking light is a timer, not a filter reminder; the filter message blinks every speed light together. The lights going off with the motor at the end is part of the timer. ## What you may notice with it. The range hood problems LED over a speed key blinking tends to arrive with. Answer these at the range hood before anyone is booked.

Leave it to run if you want the hood to clear the air and stop. ### Why did my Smeg hood light go off by itself? The auto-off timer switches off both the motor and the light after ten minutes. ### How did the timer start on my Smeg? A double press on a speed key starts it, which is easy to do by accident. ### Why won't the timer start on my Smeg touch hood? It needs the fan running and is not available while Turbo is on. --- **[Read on the site: Smeg single key light blinking: the 10-minute auto-off timer](https://rangehooderepair.center/error-codes/smeg-timer-led-blinking/)** **[Book a visit with RangeHoodeRepair.center](https://rangehooderepair.center/schedule/)**
