Maytag Range vent hood turns off by itself
If your Maytag range vent hood turns off by itself, start with the filter. A clogged range vent hood filter restricts airflow, makes the blower motor work harder, and can cause it to overheat and shut off. Clean or replace the filter as needed. Next, check the wall vent cap and duct opening for an obstruction such as a bird's nest or debris. Poor airflow can also make the vent hood motor overheat. If the Maytag range vent hood motor keeps shutting off even with clean filters and clear venting, inspect the blower wheel and housing. The blower wheel should turn freely by hand. A seized or restricted wheel can point to a failing blower motor. If the motor has power but stops running, worn windings or bearings may be causing the problem. The same check applies to the exhaust fan motor, fan motor, and blower motor. Replace the faulty motor or blower assembly when it overheats, makes unusual noise, or does not turn freely. Enter your Maytag range vent hood model number to find the exact replacement filter, wall vent cap, blower wheel, or motor for your appliance.
01 - Maytag 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 - Maytag 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.

03 - Maytag Range Vent Hood Blower Wheel and Housing
The blower has a motor that can overheat and shut off. If the motor is not turning freely, or is running for awhile and shutting off, but still has power to it, the blower will need to be replaced.
Highly Likely
04 - Maytag Range Vent Hood Exhaust Fan Motor
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
05 - Maytag Range Vent Hood Fan Motor
If the 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 fan motor will need to be replaced.
Highly Likely
06 - Maytag Range Vent Hood Blower Motor
If the blower motor windings or bearings are bad the motor may overheat and shut off. Make sure the blower wheel turns freely. If the motor doesn’t turn freely, or the motor is shutting off after it runs awhile, the motor may be bad and will need to be replaced.
Highly Likely
