Range fan stopped working?

I was cooking and using the range fan with the outside vent open. I turned it off when finished and went back later to use it again and it would not come on. The light works and all of the fuses in the panel are good. Am I missing a fuse somewhere on the fan itself that could have blown? If not, what should I check next? Thank you.

Mine did the same thing, vibration just made it come unplugged. Pulled the housing, plugged it back in and everything was fine.

I have a meter but not with me. We are leaving tomorrow so I can check it when I get home. We are under warranty so worst case scenario is I have to drop it off for a bit at the dealer. It just seemed odd that one second it worked and the next it didn't. Trailer is only 7 months old and used a half dozen times so far.

Gunk or switch would be my guess. Do you have a hand held meter?

I haven't tried that. I'll give it a shot.

Have you tried spinning the fan blade to see if it has frozen up. Sometimes grease and steam and lack of use will cause the fan to gunk up and a good cleaning or even some turns by hand will get it going again.
