Hotpoint Range vent hood fan or blower not working
If your Hotpoint range vent hood fan or blower is not working, start by listening to the motor. A blower motor that hums but does not turn usually has worn motor shaft bearings, making the exhaust fan, vent fan, or blower motor the most likely cause. If the motor has oil spouts, add oil to the bearings and check whether the fan starts turning freely. Replace the exhaust fan motor, fan motor, or blower motor if lubrication does not help or the motor cannot be lubricated. If the motor runs but the fan still does not move, inspect the blower wheel and housing. Grease, debris, or another obstruction may be caught in the blower wheel, or the wheel may be rubbing against the housing. Turn off power, then spin the blower wheel by hand. It should move freely without scraping. Replace the blower wheel and housing if it remains obstructed or binds after cleaning. Enter your Hotpoint range vent hood model number to find the exact replacement part that fits your appliance.

If your motor has oil spouts, try adding oil to the motor bearings to get the fan to turn freely.
