Is your Arietta range vent hood fan or blower not working? Start by checking whether the motor hums without turning. This usually points to worn motor shaft bearings, making the exhaust fan motor, fan motor, blower motor, or vent fan motor the most likely cause. If your Arietta range vent hood motor has oil spouts, lubricate the bearings and check whether the shaft turns freely. Replace the motor if lubrication does not help or the motor cannot be lubricated. If the motor does not hum, inspect the blower wheel next. A blockage or a blower wheel rubbing against the blower housing can stop the fan from turning. Turn off power, then try spinning the blower wheel by hand. Remove any obstruction and check for contact with the housing. If the wheel still does not spin freely, replace the blower wheel or the blower wheel and housing assembly. Enter your Arietta range vent hood model number to find the exact replacement part for your specific appliance.
01 - Arietta 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 - Arietta 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.
