Dacor Range vent hood motor is loud or noisy
If your Dacor range vent hood motor is loud or noisy, the exhaust fan motor is the most likely cause. Worn motor bearings can make the vent fan hum, grind, or vibrate, especially as the motor runs. Turn off power, then check the motor shaft for side-to-side movement. The shaft should not move at all. If your older motor has oil spouts, lubricate the bearings and test the hood again. If the noise continues, the motor cannot be lubricated, or the shaft is loose, replace the exhaust fan motor, fan motor, blower motor, or vent fan motor as applicable. A loose or worn blower wheel is another common cause of range making loud noise. Check that the wheel is tight on the motor shaft and is not scraping the fan housing. The fan blade can cause the same problem if it has slipped, loosened, or worn out. Enter your Dacor range vent hood model number to find the exact replacement part for your specific hood, including the correct motor, blower wheel, or fan blade. Disconnect electrical power before inspecting or replacing parts.
01 - Dacor 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.
