Magic Chef Range vent hood turns off by itself
If your Magic Chef range vent hood turns off by itself, restricted airflow is the first thing to check. Grease-clogged filters can make the blower work harder, overheat, and shut down. Clean or replace the range vent hood filters, then check the outside wall vent cap for a bird's nest or other blockage. Poor airflow at the inlet or outlet can also cause the motor to overheat. If the vent hood still shuts off while it has power, inspect the blower wheel and housing. A wheel that does not turn freely may indicate a failing blower motor. Worn motor windings or bearings can also make the exhaust fan motor, fan motor, or blower motor stop after running for a while. Turn off power before inspecting the fan blade, wheel, wiring, or motor, and do not operate the hood if it shows signs of electrical damage. Whether you need a filter, vent cap, blower wheel and housing, or replacement motor, enter your Magic Chef range vent hood model number to find the exact replacement part for your specific appliance.
01 - Magic Chef 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, causing the motor to overheat, and shut off. Inspect the filters and clean or replace them if necessary.

02 - Magic Chef Range Vent Hood Wall Vent Cap for 6 Inch Duct
If the vent hood motor keeps shutting off the venting may be obstructed. If accessible, check the outside vent cap for a bird's nest, etc. Turn the vent hood on and check for good air flow at the inlet and outlet. If you suspect the vent is clogged, but you cannot access it, you should have someone check it for you.
