Frigidaire Range vent hood motor is loud or noisy
When a Frigidaire range vent hood is making a loud noise, the exhaust fan motor is the most likely cause. Worn motor bearings can make the vent hood hum, grind, or rattle, especially when the fan is running. Turn off power, then gently wiggle the motor shaft. It should not move from side to side. If the shaft has play, replace the exhaust fan motor, fan motor, blower motor, or vent fan motor as applicable. Some older, larger Frigidaire motors have oil spouts. Lubricating the motor bearings may restore quiet operation, but a motor that cannot be lubricated or remains noisy needs replacement. A loose or worn blower wheel is the next likely cause. Check whether it has slipped on the motor shaft and is scraping the fan housing. A loose or damaged fan blade can create the same range vent hood noise and should also be replaced if it contacts the housing. Enter your Frigidaire range vent hood model number to find the exact replacement part for your specific appliance.
01 - Frigidaire 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.

The blower wheel might be worn out and loose on the motor shaft causing it scrape on the fan housing.
