I have an Indesit H561IX cooker hood and need a replacement black box, with the reference PHPS 171B-2 ASSO1676/R 13/06 what is it and where can I buy replacement.

It could well be the slow burn fuse inside the box, £3.00 from Maplins for a box of 10. This can happen if a bulb blows for whatever reason. A surge current will blow the fuse 3.15 amp slow burn. It is a pain in the derrier to remove the box and open it up but it saves £70 so no problem.

it is a control box for your hood to run the motor for your extractionfume and steamfrom cooking.

it is available from Indesit web site or ebay sometimes.
It may expensive to buy, would make sense to buy a new extractor at 140 POUNDS to 150 pounds,all though could be repaired if you knew a bit of electronics.
