Caloric Range vent hood motor is loud or noisy
When your Caloric range vent hood motor is loud or noisy, worn motor bearings are the most likely cause. The exhaust fan motor, fan motor, blower motor, or vent fan motor may have a shaft that moves back and forth when you wiggle it. The shaft should not have any side-to-side movement. Some older, larger Caloric range vent hoods have oil spouts, so lubricating the motor bearings may help the fan turn freely. If the bearings cannot be lubricated or the noise continues, replace the exhaust fan motor. A loose or worn blower wheel is another common cause of a range hood fan making noise. The wheel can slip on the motor shaft and scrape against the fan housing. A loose or worn fan blade can cause the same problem. Check that the blower wheel or fan blade is tight on the shaft and replace it if damaged. Disconnect power before inspecting the range vent hood. Enter your model number to find the exact replacement motor, blower wheel, or fan blade for your specific Caloric range vent hood.
01 - Caloric 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 - Caloric 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.
