Electrolux Range vent hood motor is loud or noisy

When your Electrolux range vent hood motor is loud or noisy, worn motor bearings are the most likely cause. A noisy exhaust fan motor, vent fan motor, or blower motor may have a shaft that moves side to side when you wiggle it. The shaft should not move at all. Some older, larger Electrolux range vent hoods 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 worn, replace the exhaust fan motor. A loose or damaged blower wheel is another common cause of range making loud noise, especially if the wheel has slipped on the motor shaft and is scraping against the fan housing. The fan blade can cause the same problem if it is worn or loose. Disconnect power before inspecting the motor, blower wheel, or fan blade. Enter your Electrolux range vent hood model number to find the exact replacement part for your specific appliance.

01 - Electrolux 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 - Electrolux 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 - Electrolux 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
