When your Haier range vent hood is overheating, restricted airflow is the most likely cause. Start by inspecting the grease filter. A clogged filter makes the blower motor work harder, which can cause the vent hood to run hot. Clean the filter with a degreasing solution and warm, soapy water, or replace it if it is damaged or will not come clean. Next, check the air duct for an undersized or excessively long section, outdoor obstructions, and a vent damper that does not open fully. A stuck Haier range vent hood damper can limit airflow and contribute to overheating. If airflow is still poor, inspect the blower wheel and fan blade for grease or debris, then clean or replace either part as needed. A damaged blower wheel, fan blade, or motor can also cause a range hood overheating problem. Disconnect power before servicing the vent hood, and use the model number to find the exact replacement filter, damper, blower wheel, fan blade, or motor for your specific Haier range vent hood.
01 - Haier Range Vent Hood Filter
The filters in the range hood need to be clean to have good air flow. If the filters are clogged, the blower will have a hard time moving air and the motor can overheat. Inspect the filter and clean or replace them if necessary.

If the range vent hood has always been too hot, inspect the air duct. If the air duct diameter is too small or the length of the duct is too long, the air flow will be restricted, possibly causing the vent hood to overheat. Refer to the installation instructions for proper vent size and maximum length. You can also inspect the outdoor vent hood for obstructions (a bird's nest, etc.) and confirm the vent damper is operating properly.
Highly Likely
03 - Haier Range Vent Hood Damper
Most vent hoods have a damper to help keep the outside air from migrating back into the house when the vent is not in use. If the damper is stuck closed, or not opening all the way, the air flow may be restricted causing the motor to overheat.
If the range hood is overheating, the grease filter(s) may be clogged. If a filter is very dirty it can be cleaned. Remove it and soak it in a degreasing solution until the grease is dissolved. Next, wash it with warm, soapy water to remove any traces of the degreaser. If the filter does not come clean or is damaged, replace it.
Common
05 - Haier Range Vent Hood Blower Wheel
If the blower wheel is clogged with debris the air flow will be restricted which can cause the range vent hood to overheat. You can try cleaning the blower wheel with dish soap and warm water. If the blower wheel cannot be cleaned or is damaged, it will need to be replaced.
If the fan blade is clogged with debris the air flow will be restricted which can cause the range vent hood to overheat. You can try cleaning the fan blade with dish soap and warm water. If the fan blade cannot be cleaned or is damaged, it will need to be replaced.
