Frigidaire Range vent hood turns off by itself
If your Frigidaire range vent hood turns off by itself, start with the filters. Grease and debris can restrict airflow, make the blower motor overheat, and cause the hood to shut off. Clean or replace the range hood filter, then check the wall vent cap and duct for obstructions such as a bird's nest or accumulated debris. Poor venting can also make the motor overheat. If the filters and venting are clear, inspect the blower wheel and housing. The wheel should turn freely by hand. A damaged or restricted blower wheel can overload the motor and stop the range hood after it runs for a while. If the hood has power but keeps shutting off, the exhaust fan motor, fan motor, or blower motor may have worn bearings or damaged windings and may need replacement. Disconnect power before servicing, and use a meter only if you are comfortable testing live circuits. Enter your Frigidaire range vent hood's model number to find the exact filter, blower wheel, motor, or other replacement part that fits your appliance.
01 - Frigidaire 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 - Frigidaire 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.

If the exhaust fan motor has power to it but keeps shutting off, the windings or bearings may be bad. Try turning the fan blade by hand. If the fan blade does not turn freely, or the motor keeps shutting off when it has power to it, the exhaust fan motor will need to be replaced.
Highly Likely
