KitchenAid Range vent hood fan or blower not working
If your KitchenAid range vent hood fan or blower is not working, start with the exhaust fan motor, fan motor, or blower motor. A motor that hums but does not turn usually has worn shaft bearings. If the motor has oil spouts, lubricating the bearings may restore operation. If lubrication does not help, or the motor cannot be lubricated, replace the motor. Next, check the blower wheel and housing. Grease, debris, or another obstruction can keep the wheel from turning, and the wheel may also rub against the housing. Disconnect power, then try spinning the blower wheel by hand. It should move freely without scraping or binding. Clear any obstruction and check that the wheel is properly positioned. If it still does not spin freely, replace the blower wheel or the blower wheel and housing assembly. These are the most common causes of a KitchenAid range vent hood fan not working, vent hood blower not working, or exhaust fan not working. Enter your model number to find the exact replacement motor, blower wheel, or housing for your specific KitchenAid range vent hood.
01 - KitchenAid 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 - KitchenAid 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.
