The fan of my KitchenAid Pro Line KWCU360JSS Kitchen Hood is not running anymore. I tried various speeds but just hear a low humming noise from the fan motor. Yesterday, I could still hear squeaky noise from the hood fan. Today the fan is not even running. The hood light is working ok. Thanks JC

SOURCE: Light bulb socket replacement for a really old Air Fare kitchen hood

The chances are that your range hood light socket was fully impacted with grease from cooking. Shut the power off to the range hood or, in many applications, simply unplug the power cord. Remove the socket. Get a spray can of electrical parts cleaner and saturate the socket through the tiny pin holes you may see at back of socket. shake out all of the cleaner fluid. Somehow hang the socket up with bulb base facing up all night. Hook it up. That might solve the problem.

It worked for me very recently on a 20 year old range hood.

DON'T USE ANYTHING OTHER THAN AN OFFICIAL ELECTRICAL PARTS CLCEANER. Most hardware stores, etc., have it.

SOURCE: Kitchen Hood Broan Nutone RM5200 Hood won't pull air.

There is definetly somthing blocking the air from escaping, either the duct is blocked or the installer did not remove the metal plate which opens the fan up for it to be able to evacuate.

Low pitch humming noise

May well be. You might want to check your coolant. If you're low (but not yet overheating) your fan will come on more often.

I installed a new Broan QML30SS range hood and fan makes loud humming sound as it runs

An old elecricians joke says "do you know why it hums? It dosn't know the words" Al kidding aside ,have you checked to see how free the fan blade is? The should spin very freely. It kind of sounds to me like it may be having a hard time comming up to full speed. You may try some graphite lube on the motor. If I recall Broan has a lifetime garrentee on the motor. You might just want to repace it if I am correct.

KitchenAid KHTU160KSS Kitchen Hood makes noise

Remove the fan and motor assembly from the hood (the fan motor will plug into the hood housing) and using an electrical motor cleaner (such as CRC electrical motor cleaner available from your local auto parts store) wash the motor and fan as completely as possible, lubricate the end bearings (sparingly) with a very light oil such as sewing machine oil, gun oil or as a last resort 3 in 1 oil. Hope this helps.

The fan has three speeds. The highest speed is very loud! More than twice as loud as the middle speed. Is this normal? Unit is a KWCU360JSS-1

Yes, it is normal. Actually the energy into a fan is related to the third power or cube of the speed. The turbulence of the air contributes to the noise as well as vibration, etc.

Heater fan only works on high after replacement of heater core

It's very possible the fan motor has quit. The squealing noise is caused from motor bearing failure. As the bearings wear out or dry up the motor is harder to turn and require more current to run the motor. On lower speeds, the motor runs off a series of resistors that reduce the amount of voltage and current so the fan runs a lower speeds. If the bearings are worn, there is not enough voltage or current to turn the motor and that's probably the humming noise your hearing.
Good observation by the way.
Let me know.

Kitchen aid dry motor noise

Try taking it apart again and try to turn the motor by hand. It should spin freely. If it does you've probably got a bad motor. If it is stiff or doesn't turn at all, then you might have missed something putting it back together. I wouldn't think you can overtighten the blower, it is probably something else, and with it apart it should be easy to see.

Removing the fan

most fans dont come out. but it is not hard to take the hood down. there are most likly four screws in the top going down into the hood. undo them, making sure the hood is proped up. them is should just lift out of the backing plate and there is your bird. to put it back up just put it back on the backing plate then put the bults back in and make sure the vent is on properly.
