Range hood fan slow, squealing or grinding? We repair range hood motors across Chicago, in two-flats, condos and houses. Same-day Chicago visits are common. Tell us the hood brand when you call. The price is clear before work starts, and the motor we install carries our repair warranty.
Worn motor bearings in Chicago range hoods
A range hood motor spins on small sleeve or ball bearings. Over the years the oil in them dries out. The fan then slows, squeals on startup or grinds as it runs. Some motors seize and only hum. In Chicago two-flats, many hoods run daily for decades, so worn bearings are a common call. A motor that gets very hot to the touch is another sign.
Fixing a Chicago range hood motor
We turn the blower by hand to check for drag, then run the motor under power and listen. A worn motor is replaced with one matched to the hood. The blower wheel gets a look at the same time. Chicago range hood prices are set before any part is ordered. A motor swap by us waives the $79 diagnostic. We book across the city from 6am to 9pm.
Range hoods venting through Chicago two-flat brick walls
In a Chicago two-flat, each kitchen has its own range hood. The duct goes straight out through the brick wall behind the stove. That short run is good for pull, but the wall cap outside gets stuck. Birds, grease and ice all jam the flap. A hood that runs loud and moves no air often has a jammed cap. We free the cap before we blame the motor. When the motor really is the fault, we fit a new one. The upstairs hood and the downstairs hood are separate jobs. Book both in one visit and save the second trip. We come from our shop at 2701 S Indiana Ave.
