Keep your NuTone RL6200 range hood operating efficiently with genuine OEM replacement parts from Repair Clinic. The RL6200 is an under-cabinet range vent hood that uses a fan motor and blower wheel to exhaust cooking vapors through an aluminum mesh grease filter and ductwork to the exterior. The grease filter must be cleaned monthly: a saturated filter restricts airflow, reduces exhaust effectiveness, and increases bearing temperature in the fan motor. Repair Clinic stocks genuine NuTone OEM parts for the RL6200 including the NuTone range hood motor parts, NuTone range hood filter parts, and NuTone range hood switch parts.

NuTone RL6200: Under-Cabinet Range Vent Hood Service
The NuTone RL6200 under-cabinet range hood uses a grease filter that must be cleaned monthly and replaced when cleaning no longer restores adequate airflow. A filter saturated with cooking grease restricts airflow through the fan housing and increases bearing temperature. The fan motor and control switch can fail independently without affecting the other function.
Most Replaced Parts on the NuTone RL6200
Grease Filter for the NuTone RL6200
Clean the filter monthly in hot soapy water and replace it when the mesh frame is bent or the material is torn or too coated for cleaning to restore adequate airflow.
Fan Motor for the RL6200
A motor with worn bearings produces a grinding or squealing noise. Confirm the grease filter is not severely clogged before testing the motor, as a restricted filter causes the motor to run hot and shortens bearing life.
Control Switch for the NuTone RL6200
A switch that is intermittent or fails to energize one function has an internal fault. Test switch continuity with a multimeter before ordering a replacement.
Light Socket and Lens for the RL6200
A lens that has yellowed or cracked can be replaced without replacing the fan motor or switch assembly.

NuTone RL6200 Range Hood Parts FAQ
What is the NuTone RL6200 and what style of range hood is it?
The NuTone RL6200 is an under-cabinet range vent hood that mounts beneath a kitchen cabinet above the cooking surface, using a fan motor and blower wheel to draw cooking vapors through a grease filter and exhaust them through ductwork.
Why is my NuTone RL6200 not exhausting cooking vapors effectively?
Reduced effectiveness is most commonly caused by a grease filter saturated with cooking grease that restricts airflow, a fan motor running at reduced speed from a worn bearing, or a loose ductwork connection exhausting air into the cabinet.
Why does my NuTone RL6200 fan make a grinding or squealing noise?
Grinding or squealing indicates bearing wear in the fan motor. A bearing at the grinding stage should be replaced before the motor shaft seizes.
How do I clean the grease filter on the NuTone RL6200?
Slide the filter out, soak in hot water with degreaser for 10 minutes, scrub gently, rinse thoroughly, and allow to dry completely before reinstalling.
