Parts for Broan PM500SS: Range Hood Parts

Keep your hood capturing grease and steam effectively with this replacement filter. It traps airborne grease and cooking residue so your blower and ducts stay cleaner and your range hood maintains proper airflow.

• Captures grease and cooking particles before they reach the blower and ductwork
• Helps maintain ventilation performance and reduce buildup
• Replace when visibly saturated, damaged, or when airflow and capture decline
• Common symptoms of a saturated filter: lingering odors, reduced suction, greasy residue on nearby surfaces

• Disconnect power to the hood before service
• Allow the hood and filters to cool if recently used
• Release the old filter using the latch or tabs; note orientation
• Seat the new filter fully and secure it before restoring power

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 is the ventilation fan assembly that moves air through the appliance to clear smoke, steam, and cooking odors. Replacing a worn blower can restore proper airflow and reduce performance issues. What it does:

• Circulates air through the vent or hood to support proper exhaust performance
• Helps clear smoke, steam, and odors from the cooking area
• Restores reduced airflow caused by a damaged or failing fan assembly
• Reduces unusual rattling or vibration when the blower is the source of noise

• Blower assembly

• Disconnect appliance power before inspecting or replacing the blower
• Handle the fan wheel carefully to avoid bending blades or disturbing balance
• Verify electrical connections and mounting fit match the appliance before final assembly
• Refer to OEM instructions for model-specific removal and reinstallation steps

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 transformer converts incoming line voltage to the low-voltage power required by internal lighting and control circuits. Replacing a failed transformer helps restore proper operation and protects sensitive components from incorrect voltage.

• Steps down household AC to the correct low-voltage output for appliance circuits
• Supplies power to low-voltage lights, user interface, or electronics
• Failure may cause lights not to turn on, flicker, or appear dim even with good bulbs
• May show signs of overheating, discoloration, or a burnt odor

• Disconnect power at the breaker and verify no voltage is present before servicing
• Note wire locations with a photo; move connections one at a time to the new transformer
• Mount securely in the original location; keep wiring clear of sharp edges and hot surfaces

This push button is a direct-replacement control panel button for range-hood control assemblies. Restores reliable tactile operation for fan and light controls so your hood functions the way it should. What it does

• Replaces a worn, cracked or missing control panel button used to engage fan speeds or lights
• Restores proper contact and tactile feedback when pressed
• Helps stop sticking, intermittent operation or failure-to-engage symptoms related to a damaged button
• Matches OEM fit and appearance for straightforward cosmetic and functional restoration

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair to avoid shock
• Typically installs by snapping into the control panel; use gentle pressure to seat it fully
• Check alignment with the switch mechanism behind the panel before final seating
• If other control parts are damaged or the switch still fails, replace or test the switch assembly as needed

This electronic control board replaces the hood's main circuit module to restore fan, light and speed-control functions. It provides the appliance's logic and relay switching so controls respond correctly. What it does:

• Receives input from the hood controls and switches power to the fan and lights
• Restores proper speed selection when the original board fails
• Can resolve symptoms such as unresponsive buttons, intermittent fan operation, or lights that won't turn on
• Helps eliminate random cycling or loss of blower function caused by a failed control board

• Disconnect power at the breaker before servicing; do not work on energized equipment
• Handle the board by the edges and avoid static discharge; use ESD protection if available
• Reconnect all wiring harnesses and secure mounting fasteners; verify connector seating
• Test the hood's functions (fan speeds and lights) before reassembling panels

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.
