What to do when LED over a speed key blinking 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
Leave it to run if you want the hood to clear the air and stop.
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 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.
Leave it to run if you want the hood to clear the air and stop.
Touch the same key again to cancel the timer on touch panels.
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.

Still showing LED over a speed key blinking?
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.
