Amana Range vent hood motor is loud or noisy

If your Amana range vent hood motor is loud or noisy, worn motor bearings are the most likely cause. Turn off power to the vent hood, then check the exhaust fan motor, fan motor, blower motor, or vent fan motor by gently wiggling the motor shaft. The shaft should not move side to side. Even slight movement indicates worn bearings. Some older, larger Amana motors have oil spouts, so lubricating the motor bearings may help the fan turn freely. If the noise continues, the motor cannot be lubricated, or the bearings are severely worn, replace the exhaust fan motor. A loose or damaged blower wheel is another common reason for range making loud noise or oven fan noise. Check that the blower wheel is tight on the motor shaft and is not scraping the fan housing. A worn or loose fan blade can cause the same problem and should also be replaced if it has shifted or contacts the housing. Enter your Amana range vent hood model number to find the exact replacement motor, blower wheel, or fan blade for your specific appliance.

01 - Amana Range Vent Hood Exhaust Fan Motor

The exhaust fan motor bearings might be worn out. To determine if the motor bearings are worn out, try wiggling the motor shaft back and forth. The motor shaft should not move at all. If the motor shaft moves even by a slight amount, the motor 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 - Amana Range Vent Hood Blower Wheel

The blower wheel might be worn out and loose on the motor shaft causing it scrape on the fan housing. Check to make sure the wheel is tight on the motor shaft and has not slipped on the shaft causing it to contact the fan housing. If the blower wheel is loose on the motor shaft it should be replaced.
Highly Likely

06 - Amana Range Vent Hood Fan Blade

The fan blade might be worn out and loose on the motor shaft causing it scrape on the fan housing. Check to make sure the blade is tight on the motor shaft and has not slipped on the shaft causing it to contact the fan housing. If the fan blade is loose on the motor shaft it should be replaced.
Highly Likely
