OK. Tomorrow when I have a buddy to help me I will test for push switch continuity while the push swith is being pushed. I'll let you know what happens. I appreciate your help!

You can easily test the push switch by shorting the terminals it plugs into on the board. unplug the 2 wire connector and touch the terminals together with an insulated screwdriver. if it goes down(or up) you have your problem .

Hi, I shorted the two wire connectors on the control board and still nothing happened. What do you think now?

are you shorting the the plug itself or the prongs where the plug connects on the board? should be shorting the prongs on the board, with the plug disconnected. power is on and plugged in?

not making any sense...if you have replaced the board and motor and limits are good...only thing left is the pushbutton and this test simulates the push button. go back and make sure you wired up the new board correctly will it still work shorting the limit?

Okay. Went back and checked connections. All are correct. One was loose. I crimped it down and then tried shorting the two wires on the control board again and the motor started turning, just a few clicks and then it stopped. So, I am guessing the loose wire was the cause of the problem. So, this tells me the push switch is bad, right? Or am I more lost than I think I am?!?

i agree with regus- try it again. if the push switch wont start it but shorting the terminals will...bad push switch

No...push switch won't work. Will order the part and let you know. I am dreading putting that thing in but this is cheaper than buying a new appliance!

Hasn't turned out yet! So sorry...I have been so busy planning two Halloween parties that I put the repair off until afterwards. Since I am going to have to completely uninstall the cooktop, I thought it best to wait. I will definitely post an update after installing the new switch. Thanks.

I know it have been a little over a year but I am just now finding the time to get this thing resolved. I installed the new push switch and was so excited to have a working downdraft vent again but no luck! The vent will raise and lower but I have to continuously hold the push switch. AND now the blower won't come on. It doesn't seem like any power is getting to the motor....no humming or anything. Thought the two limit switches had gone bad but had them tested today and was told they are still good. The control board is from October last year and has not been used but I guess it could still be the problem. Pretty sure I have everything wired correctly and I checked for tight connections. Is there a way for me to test it? What else do you think I could be looking at here?
