Parts for Broan E5490SS: Range Hood Parts

The Filter is an OEM replacement part for Broan range hoods. It is designed to trap grease, smoke, and other airborne particles during cooking, helping to keep the air in your kitchen clean and your range hood operating efficiently. This filter ensures that debris does not accumulate within the range hood, maintaining its performance and preventing potential damage.

You should replace the filter if it becomes clogged, damaged, or too worn to function effectively. Causes of a bad filter can include prolonged use without cleaning, exposure to excessive grease and moisture, or physical damage during handling or cleaning.

Symptoms of a bad filter include:

• Reduced airflow or suction from the range hood
• Persistent grease buildup on surrounding surfaces
• Lingering cooking odors
• Visible tears, holes, or warping in the filter

This OEM Broan part is also compatible with some Nutone range hoods.

This capacitor helps start and keep the blower/fan motor running smoothly in your range hood or ventilation unit. Replacing a weak or failed capacitor can restore proper fan performance and reduce humming or slow-start issues. What it does

• Provides the phase shift needed for a PSC fan motor to start and run correctly
• Common symptoms of failure: fan won't start, only hums, runs slowly, or starts intermittently
• Physical clues include a swollen case or heat-damaged terminals

• 1 capacitor

• Disconnect power at the breaker before servicing; capacitors can retain a charge
• Safely discharge the old capacitor and avoid shorting the terminals
• Note wire positions/take a photo and transfer wiring to the new part one-for-one
• Mount securely and keep leads clear of sharp edges and hot surfaces; test operation after reassembly

This blower wheel spins inside the vent blower assembly to move air through the hood or ventilation system, restoring proper airflow and helping clear smoke and cooking odors. Fits applications that use a single replacement wheel. What it does:

• Replaces worn or damaged wheel blades that reduce airflow
• Restores proper ventilation when airflow is weak or uneven
• Can reduce vibration or scraping noises caused by a bent or broken wheel
• Works with the blower motor to circulate air through the ductwork and filters

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning work.
• Handle with care — blower housings and mounting screws may have sharp edges.
• Verify wheel orientation and secure mounting to the motor shaft per manufacturer alignment marks.

Replacement mounting washer that secures fasteners and maintains proper spacing on blower, motor, and housing assemblies. Restores alignment and helps reduce vibration and rattling caused by loose or missing hardware. What it does:

• Provides a smooth bearing surface under a screw or nut to distribute load and prevent pull-through.
• Keeps mounting fasteners aligned and helps maintain correct spacing between components.
• Helps reduce vibration and noise from loose or worn hardware when installed properly.
• Useful when replacing corroded or damaged fastening hardware during routine repairs.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any repair.
• Match the washer to the original part (size and thickness) and install between the fastener head and the mounting surface.
• Do not overtighten fasteners—tighten just enough to secure the part and avoid crushing the washer.
• Replace any rusted or damaged screws, nuts, or complementary hardware for a reliable repair.

This damper assembly helps control airflow by opening during operation and closing when the fan is off, reducing backdrafts and outside air intrusion. Replacing a worn damper restores proper ventilation and helps keep kitchen air moving the right way.

• Opens to let exhaust air out; closes to block drafts when the unit is off
• Can help address rattling, flapping, or poor airflow due to a stuck or broken damper
• Designed for compatible ventilation units that use this specific damper style

• Disconnect power before servicing
• Access damper at the duct connector or discharge outlet; note orientation of the flap
• Inspect and clear debris from the duct path before installing
• Verify smooth flap movement after installation and restore power to test

This flue guides exhaust from the appliance to the vent, helping safe removal of combustion or ventilation air. It replaces a damaged or corroded exhaust tube to restore proper airflow and reduce backflow into the unit. What it does:

• Channels exhaust and ventilation gases from the appliance to the venting system
• Helps maintain proper draft to support safe operation and efficient venting
• Prevents exhaust leakage that can cause odors or poor ventilation
• Fits where the original flue was installed to restore the outlet path

• One flue piece as shown

• Turn off power to the appliance and any fuel supply before servicing
• Wear gloves to avoid sharp edges; handle with care
• Follow the appliance manufacturer's installation instructions and local venting codes

This electronic control board replaces the failed main control in a range hood to restore fan, light, and timed functions. It provides the appliance's switching and control logic so the hood responds correctly to user commands. What it does:

• Controls fan speed selection and on/off signaling for the range hood
• Manages light operation and any timed or delay functions
• Re-establishes reliable electronic switching when the original board has failed
• Common symptoms: hood won't power on, fan or lights are unresponsive, or operation is intermittent

• Disconnect power at the breaker before starting any work
• Handle the board by its edges and avoid static discharge or contact with circuitry

A replacement support bracket that secures internal components and helps maintain proper alignment for the appliance. Restores stable mounting to reduce vibration and prevent shifting of assemblies during operation. What it does

• Provides a secure mounting point for internal assemblies to keep components aligned.
• Helps reduce vibration and rattling caused by loose or sagging parts.
• Keeps blower/motor or related components properly positioned for reliable operation.
• Prevents additional wear from misaligned parts by stabilizing assemblies.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair.
• Use the original fasteners when possible; replace any damaged screws or clips.
• Do not overtighten fasteners; ensure bracket is snug and components move freely as intended.

This replacement lens covers and protects the light on compatible Broan range hoods, restoring the fixture's finished appearance and even light diffusion. Durable plastic shields the bulb and helps prevent direct contact. What it does:

• Covers and protects the hood light fixture from grease, spills, and impact
• Diffuses light for more even illumination across the cooktop
• Replaces cracked, discolored, or missing lenses that cause glare or exposed bulbs
• Helps maintain a clean, finished look for the underside of the hood

• Disconnect power to the range hood before starting any work to avoid electrical shock.
• Usually installs by snapping into place or fastening with a small screw—handle gently to avoid cracking.
• Use a soft cloth and mild cleaner; avoid abrasive cleaners that can scratch the lens.

This push button is the user-facing control that operates a range hood or ventilation control panel, restoring tactile on/off and speed/light selection for worn or broken buttons. It provides a simple, direct way to make the control responsive again. What it does:

• Replaces a worn, cracked, or missing control button so the switch beneath can be pressed reliably
• Restores tactile feedback for on/off, speed selection, or light control on compatible vent hoods
• Helps eliminate sticking, intermittent contact, or lost button functionality
• Simple cosmetic repair that returns the control panel to usable condition

• Disconnect power to the appliance before attempting any repair to avoid shock
• Remove the vent hood trim or control panel per the appliance service instructions to access the button and switch
• Gently pry or unclip the old button from the bezel; press the replacement onto the switch stem until it seats
