Customer Questions and Answers for Motor (Blower) by Broan

Vent blower motor that spins the hood fan to move air through the ventilation system. Replaces a failed or noisy motor to restore proper airflow and reduce vibration and noise during operation. What it does:

• Drives the blower/impeller to circulate cooking fumes, smoke and odors out of the hood.
• Restores consistent fan speed and airflow when a motor has failed or runs intermittently.
• Common symptoms: fan won't start, weak airflow, or intermittent operation.
• Increased vibration, grinding or squealing noises often indicate motor wear or bearing failure.

• Disconnect power at the circuit breaker before beginning any work.
• Follow the range hood or ventilation unit's service manual for blower housing removal; note wiring locations or take photos before disconnecting.
• Use proper tools and avoid forcing connectors or mounting tabs.
