22.1 Q. Must the switches on range hood kitchen ventilation fans be in accessible locations?
A. No. Kitchen ventilation fans located on a range hood are considered to be part of the appliance. The Fair Housing Act has no requirements for appliances in the interiors of dwelling units, or the switches that operate them.
