Hengs oven hood not working

[Bgit]

Last summer, I forgot to remove the piece of plastic from vent cover that allows the oven hood to draw the heat from the camper to the outside. So, while I was boiling water the light and fan in the oven hood stopped working, which I assume is due to the amount of heat that built up.The oven hood has a sticker that says it is thermally protected. However, I removed the oven hood, and I can’t find an in-line fuse anywhere. Also, the wires running to the hood don’t have any power, however, there are no fuses blown in the fuse box. I’d love to hear some suggestions of what to do next. Thanks!

Oh man, I feel this one. It’s wild how one little piece of forgotten plastic—that vent flap—can turn into a full-on troubleshooting rabbit hole. We’ve all missed something like that at least once (But now you’ve got a quiet fan, a dark light, and no sign of a blown fuse ,,,Yeah, frustrating and weirdly familiar.

You mentioned the “thermally protected” sticker, and that’s a solid clue. That phrase usually means there’s a thermal fuse or cutoff switch hidden somewhere inside. The catch? Once those trip, they don’t reset. No polite beep. No little red switch. They just stop playing the game.

And here's the kicker:
They’re often tucked away like they’re hiding from daylight! under insulation, clipped to the metal chassis, or wrapped up in shrink tubing near the motor. If you didn’t know to look for it, you'd assume it wasn’t there at all.

If you’ve pulled the hood and there’s zero power at the wires, but your fuse panel looks clean and happy, I’d still suggest testing upstream. Because RV wiring? It’s like playing connect-the-dots with invisible ink. Sometimes the circuit that feeds your hood shares power with an outlet or another appliance—like that one random GFCI outlet you forgot existed behind the coffee maker. Try resetting any GFCIs, even if they look fine.

Also, some manufacturers slip in inline fuses outside the main fuse box!! annoying, but it happens. They’re usually in the wiring harness, possibly wrapped in black tape. It’s not glamorous, but gently feeling along the wire for any bumps or connectors might turn something up.

Thank you both, I’m going to post a pic of the wiring leading to the hood from above the hood and the wiring below. There is a sort of rubber shrink wrap around the wires connected to the motor but unfortunately there wasn’t a fuse under it. What I’m confused about is if there is no power running to hood then the inline fuse must be before the visible wires running to the hood, but wouldn’t the inline fuse need to be inside the hood in order for it to get hot enough to shut off?
