All trailers are different but check to make sure you dont need the light switch at the panel on that controls ceiling lights near the kitchen. Without that switch on in my camper the range hood is dead. My ceiling lights are individually operated with a button so they don't have to be on when the switch is hot.

Could the fan and light be part of your microwave? If so, is the clock working in the microwave? It would be on a circuit breaker instead of a fuse.

Exhaust hood and light are 12 volt. Micro is 120.

I have a Salem 241QB. I just recently found another fuse panel mounted out of sight BEHIND the converter. Can only be seen by removing my two small drawers next to converter. It sucks too because you can either see it or touch it, but can’t see and touch at same time.

I had the same thing happen, accidentally hit the battery shut off switch. Pulled out and all was good.

My old 2006 Wicked kitty would like a LED in the hood. Can I get a number for it.

We just returned from the dealer and our fan and lite are working !!! It was a fuse but not
one from the fuse box. The tech had to remove 5 screws to lower the entire fan unit. Once he had access to all of the wiring, he found 2 fuses, the 5 amp fuse was blown.
He replaced it and we had power !!!
I hope this works for you
Hank

It's important to remember that when a fuse blows there is usually a reason, typically a short or overload of some kind. It's a good idea to investigate this rather than just replacing the fuse alone.
