Hotpoint Range vent hood motor is loud or noisy
When your Hotpoint 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, then check whether the motor shaft moves from side to side. The shaft should not have any noticeable play. If your older Hotpoint range vent hood motor has oil spouts, lubricate the bearings and check whether the fan turns freely. If the noise continues, or the motor cannot be lubricated, replace the exhaust fan motor. A loose or worn blower wheel is another common cause. The wheel can slip on the motor shaft and scrape against the fan housing, creating a rattling or grinding sound. Inspect the wheel and replace it if it is loose or damaged. A worn or loose fan blade can cause the same problem, so make sure it is secure on the shaft and does not contact the housing. Enter your Hotpoint range vent hood model number to find the exact replacement motor, blower wheel, or fan blade for your appliance.
01 - Hotpoint 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.
