Thermador hoods pair with the router through the CONNECT key, and use the fan-speed keys to show where the process stands. If CONNECT and 2 flash together, the hood gave up after two minutes without finding the network. The hood still vents and lights normally. Thermador range hood display · also shown as CONNECT + 2 flash What to do when CONNECT and 2 flashing shows on the range hood ### Kind of code Control 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 to Range 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 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 Thermador Thermador hoods, inserts and downdraft vents are repaired on a home visit that begins by watching the owner run the fan. ### Source Thermador Masterpiece Custom Insert Hoods Use and Care Guide (VCI) Wi-Fi Masterpiece hoods: custom inserts VCI3B/VCI6B and chimney, island and drawer hoods HMCB, HMIB and HDDB. ## Before you book, in this order. Each step comes from Thermador's own guidance for CONNECT and 2 flashing on its range hoods. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit. 01 Check that the hood sits within reach of a strong Wi-Fi signal and that the router's WPS function is on. 02 Switch the hood and lights off and start the pairing again from the CONNECT key. 03 If WPS keeps failing, use the manual (professional mode) connection the guide describes, joining the hood's own HomeConnect network from your phone. 04 If the hood will not pair either way, book a visit to have the Wi-Fi module looked at. ### Still there?

Check that the hood sits within reach of a strong Wi-Fi signal and that the router's WPS function is on. If it comes back, it needs a visit. ### Does my Thermador hood still work while CONNECT and 2 are flashing? Yes. Only the app link failed; the blower, lights and filter reminder all run from the hood's own keys. ### My router has no WPS button. Can the Thermador hood still connect? Yes. The guide's manual route has the hood open its own network named HomeConnect, which your phone joins before passing on your home Wi-Fi details. ### How do I move my Thermador hood to a new router? Hold CONNECT together with fan key 0 for at least three seconds until CONNECT goes out, which clears the old network. Then pair again from the start. --- **[Read on the site: Thermador CONNECT and 2 flashing: the hood could not join your Wi-Fi](https://rangehooderepair.center/error-codes/thermador-connect-2-flashing/)** **[Book a visit with RangeHoodeRepair.center](https://rangehooderepair.center/schedule/)**
