Broan Range Vent Hood Parts

Broan Range Vent Hood Parts

A Broan range vent hood works hard every time you cook — pulling smoke, steam, and odors away from your stovetop. When the fan slows down, the light flickers, or exhaust stops moving, you need the right OEM parts to get it working again. The most common failures are the fan motor (the workhorse of any hood), blower wheel (which can become clogged with grease), and the light bulb or socket (a quick, easy fix).

Broan hoods are built to last, and replacement parts are straightforward. Whether you're dealing with a noisy blower, a stuck damper, or a dead motor, Broan range vent hood parts are in stock and ready to ship. Grease filters are a seasonal consumable — keep one handy. Enter your hood model number below to find the exact motor, damper, switch, or filter that fits your unit.

• Fan motor won't run or runs slowly: Motor failure or capacitor issue
• Blower wheel rattles or makes grinding noise: Wheel seized from grease buildup or bearing failure
• Light won't turn on or flickers: Burnt-out bulb, bad socket, or control board failure
• Hood produces no suction: Clogged grease filter, blocked damper, or failed motor
• Speed control won't respond: Push-button switch or control board failure

Broan Range Vent Hood Parts — Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between Broan and NuTone vent hoods?

Broan and NuTone are the same company (Broan-NuTone LLC). Broan is the contractor/commercial name, and NuTone is the residential/homeowner brand. Many parts cross-reference between them — a Broan motor often fits a NuTone hood and vice versa. Always use your model number to confirm exact compatibility, as some parts vary by installation year and ductwork configuration.

Why is my Broan range hood motor so loud, and is it the blower wheel?

A loud blower wheel is usually caused by grease and dust buildup on the impeller blades. The wheel may also be striking the housing because the bearing is worn. If cleaning the wheel doesn't quiet it, the bearing or motor is failing. Broan blower wheel assemblies and motors are modular — you can often replace just the wheel or just the motor without replacing the entire hood.

How often should I replace my Broan grease filter, and what's the difference between aluminum mesh and charcoal?

Aluminum mesh grease filters are reusable — clean them in your dishwasher or hand-wash them monthly (or more often if you cook a lot). They last years. Charcoal/carbon filters are for recirculating hoods (no ductwork to outside) and filter odors — replace those every 6 to 12 months depending on use. If your hood is vented outside, you only need the aluminum mesh filter.

My Broan hood switch doesn't work, but the motor runs fine. Do I need a new control board?

Not necessarily. Broan range hood switches are often separate from the control board. If one speed button doesn't work but others do, the switch itself may be damaged or stuck. Test continuity on the switch terminals or try a replacement push-button switch before condemning the board. Control boards are more expensive — check the simple parts first.

Broan Range Vent Hood Model Number: Where to Look

Broan typically places the model number on a rating label inside the hood, often behind the filters, or on the vent panel. Check those areas carefully, since grease and dust can make the label hard to read. Record the complete model number, including any letters, numbers, or hyphens. Type it into our model number lookup and the catalog narrows to parts made for your unit, across every associated part category. Matching the whole hood by model helps account for differences in motors, switches, filters, lights, and other parts. You will spend less time comparing specifications and more time making a confident repair.
