Caloric Range vent hood doesn't vent to the outside
When your Caloric range vent hood doesn't vent to the outside, the blower motor is the most likely problem. Turn on the hood and check whether the fan blade spins. If it does not, verify that the motor is receiving power and test the vent switch for continuity. A motor with power that still will not turn needs replacement. Next, inspect the blower wheel and housing. Grease or another obstruction may be caught in the wheel, or the wheel may be rubbing against the housing. Turn the wheel by hand. It should spin freely. If it does not after you clear obstructions, replace the blower wheel and housing or the blower wheel itself. A loose fan blade can also prevent the Caloric range vent hood from moving air, so tighten it on the motor shaft or replace it if it will not stay secure. Finally, check the grease filter. A clogged filter restricts airflow and may need cleaning or replacement. Enter your model number to find the exact blower motor, blower wheel, fan blade, or grease filter for your Caloric range vent hood.
01 - Caloric Range Vent Hood Blower Motor
To determine if the blower motor is defective, turn on the vent hood and check to see if the fan blade is spinning. If the fan blade does not spin, ensure that power is getting to the motor. If power is not getting to the motor, test the switch for continuity. If the motor is receiving power, but the motor won’t turn, replace the blower motor.
