Maytag Range vent hood fan or blower not working
If your Maytag range vent hood fan or blower is not working, start by listening to the motor. A humming sound with no fan movement usually points to worn motor shaft bearings in the exhaust fan motor, fan motor, blower motor, or vent fan motor. Older, larger Maytag range vent hoods may have oil spouts on the motor bearings, so lubricating them can help the motor turn freely. If the motor cannot be lubricated or still will not run, replace the motor. If the motor is silent, check the blower wheel before ordering a part. Grease, debris, or another obstruction can keep the wheel from turning, and the wheel may also rub against the blower housing. Turn off power to the range vent hood, then try spinning the blower wheel by hand. It should rotate freely. If it does not, clear the obstruction or replace the blower wheel and housing, or the blower wheel itself. These are the most common causes of a Maytag range vent hood fan not working or a vent hood blower not turning. Enter your model number to find the exact replacement part for your Maytag range vent hood.
01 - Maytag 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 - Maytag 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.
