Broan Range vent hood turns off by itself
When a Broan range vent hood turns off by itself, start with the filter, since a clogged filter restricts airflow and can cause the blower motor to overheat and shut down. Clean or replace the range vent hood filter, then check the wall vent cap and duct for an obstruction such as a bird's nest or debris. Poor airflow can make the hood motor work too hard. If the venting is clear, inspect the blower wheel and housing. The blower wheel should turn freely by hand, and the hood should not shut off after running for a while. A failing blower wheel and housing, exhaust fan motor, fan motor, or blower motor may have worn bearings or damaged windings that cause overheating. If the motor has power but repeatedly stops, the motor will likely need replacement. This Broan range vent hood repair may also involve a switch, thermostat, thermal fuse, capacitor, or control board, depending on the model. Enter your model number to find the exact replacement filter, vent cap, blower assembly, or motor for your Broan range vent hood.
01 - Broan 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 - Broan 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.
