Electrolux Range vent hood fan or blower not working
If your Electrolux range vent hood fan or blower is not working, start by checking whether the vent fan motor hums but the blower wheel does not turn. This usually points to worn motor shaft bearings. If the exhaust fan motor has oil spouts, lubricate the motor bearings and check whether the shaft turns freely. If lubrication does not help, or the motor cannot be lubricated, replace the fan motor, blower motor, or exhaust fan motor. If the motor is quiet, or the blower wheel still will not turn freely, inspect the blower wheel for grease, debris, or another obstruction. The wheel may also be rubbing against the blower housing. Clear any obstruction and correct the alignment if possible. If the blower wheel remains damaged or does not spin freely, replace the blower wheel or the blower wheel and housing assembly. These are the most common causes of an Electrolux range vent hood fan not working. Enter your model number to find the exact replacement part for your specific range vent hood, including the correct motor, blower wheel, or housing. Disconnect power before inspecting or servicing the vent hood.
01 - Electrolux Range Vent Hood Exhaust Fan Motor
Usually, when the blower motor hums but does not turn, it indicates that the motor shaft bearings are worn out. Some older, larger motors have oil spouts. If your motor has oil spouts, try adding oil to the motor bearings to get the fan to turn freely. If lubricating the motor bearings does not solve the problem, or if the motor can’t be lubricated, replace the exhaust fan motor.

05 - Electrolux Range Vent Hood Blower Wheel and Housing
One possibility is that something is caught in the blower wheel. It is also possible that the blower wheel is rubbing against the blower housing. To determine if the blower wheel is at fault, try spinning the blower fan by hand. If the blower wheel does not spin freely, check for the blower wheel for obstructions. In addition, ensure that the blower wheel is not rubbing against the blower housing. If the blower wheel is clear of obstructions, but it still doesn’t spin freely, replace the blower wheel and housing.
