Magic Chef Range vent hood motor is loud or noisy

When a Magic Chef range vent hood motor is loud or noisy, the most likely cause is worn bearings in the exhaust fan motor, fan motor, blower motor, or vent fan motor. Turn off power and check the motor shaft by gently wiggling it side to side. The shaft should not move. Even slight movement indicates worn bearings. Some older, larger motors have oil spouts, so lubricating the bearings may help the fan turn freely. If the noise continues, the motor cannot be lubricated, or the shaft remains loose, replace the exhaust fan motor. A loose or worn blower wheel is the next likely cause. Check that the wheel is tight on the motor shaft and is not scraping the fan housing. The fan blade can cause the same oven fan noise or range vent hood noise if it has slipped, worn out, or become loose on the shaft. Replace the blower wheel or fan blade when damaged. Enter your Magic Chef range vent hood model number to find the exact replacement part that fits your appliance.

01 - Magic Chef 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 - Magic Chef 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 - Magic Chef 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.
