A DA1160 is a mechanical hood – no board, no indicators, just switches and a motor – which makes it one of the more straightforward appliances to diagnose. A fan that hums but will not spin is almost always the run capacitor, a part the size of a thumb that costs very little. Owners frequently assume a humming motor is finished when it is nothing of the sort.
