How can i fix my Hygena APP2410 cooker hood?

I just fixed same problem - lights ok, no motor.

!!! If you're going to attempt this make sure the hood is isolated from the mains !!!

I removed the switch box (remove greasy grilles, remove 2 small screws holding the box in place), and opened it by removing 4 further screws.

There was a burned out solder joint on the PCB which had effectively disconnected power to the switches. I cleaned and repaired it, then refreshed the rest of the solder joints as there were a few others which looked cracked. Mechanical stresses from the switches, I'm guessing.

It's now as good as new! Which is to say noisy and ineffective :D

i have avry similar problem, which I have traced to a dry joint on the timer PCB, where the Neutral switch leg pokes through the PCB. However when I tried re-soldering this, it ended up arcing across. You can buy new PCB boxes for about £45, but it would appear that this may be a common problem with the PCB.

Unless you are brave and know what you are doing, I would call in an electrician.
