Thank you for your video! I was struggling with having to get a new hood because the pigtail plugin for this won't match the one on the hood itself. While watching the video I remembered that all I have to do is cut the pigtails, and wire them directly! You basically just saved me $200 because now all I have to do is order the fan. One thing to note for future: Keep your old bracket, and blade because the bracket screw holes might not line up with the hood's screw holes. All it takes is removing the two screws on the motor body, and the blade, and you can swap out the bracket. The reason to keep the fan is in the event it breaks you have a spare on hand. All these parts are pretty universal, but the pigtails are what's proprietary in a lot of them.
My westinghouse rangehood fan stopped stopped working, dropped it down, make sure power is turned off, didn't touch any wires, cleaned all the built up fats, tested and bingo, Fan working again. Clean it out first before you replace. Cheers for the video
I love the safety reinforcement in a funny way. I suggest wire snips are a safer for removing zip ties. Scissors can flex and cause damage to you or your wires. Unless maybe they are heavy duty.
@high light Hi Buddy, can I change lower CFM blower with higher one? For example the Allure hood has 180 CFM fan. I wan to replace the fan with 800 CFM rating?
Hello, my hood fan original have 2 wires motor ( black and white) and I can’t find anywhere to buy to replace it. I bought another fan on Amazon that comes with 3 wires ( black, white, & red). Could you see anyway I can convert it and use it. I tried to swap the wires around but no help. Thank you in advance
I have a kemore kitchen exhaust fan and ordered a motor and thought it came with the impeller. I need to take off the old impeller and put it on the new motor but can’t see no pin to remove. It likes like it needs to pry off to remove. When I ordered it look like it came with the impeller but looking it closer it side motor. I can order the impeller by itself but then don’t know about it going on the motor as it looks like it needs to be press on. Hope you can help!
Why is it ok that the 1 1 wire from the wall - I geuss the ground? - is connected to 2 other white wires - one for fan and one for light? How many wires can connect to a single ground?
So i ordered the fan motor replacement and installed it pretty easy . It worked on Low BUT when i switched it to High mode later on it broke again. Now it wont even work on low; dead again. What is really the problem? Please help 😢
I need to remove the fan blade from the motor. Do you know how do this. The fan blade in not on a clip; attaching to the motor. it's the new type that's sold in the market today. It would be great if you cold explain how to remove the fan blade from the motor shaft. Thanks.
in some cases the non clip ones are push in pressure types, that can be pulled. have you tried that? if its a solid one piece, you might have to replace the entire motor with fan. also another way to attack it, you can search, if that particular model and brand has a fan blade replacement part, usually items comes with instructions, on how to replace or even give you information to know if its one entire piece or sometimes in the reviews there can be a DIY warrior that has some pointers on the install. good luck. let us know how it goes. We are always open to new knowledge.😊❤👍💪
@@StatUpBox Thank you for the reply. I'll try what you have suggested and will let you know if it works out. I will also put a comment here if I am able to take the fan blade off any other way.

How do you clean it? Can you just dunk it in water?
@@chinoytheman I used the s.o.s.cleanning pads the blue ones that have soap in them
@@chinoytheman or cleaning vinegar
Mine struggle to spin after a few minutes of spinning, three months after my last thorough clean
Thank you, great job. I fixed Ares as well and she is running smooth. before it sounded loud.
Awesome

One other question: how would we determine which wire goes to which if they were all same color?
you can use multi meter
Thank you so much for your help
👍😊❤
Sir the wiring from the old motor we have is all black how can I know where the red and white go?

Great Video
Educational AND entertaining! Thanks for that :D
Glad you enjoyed it!
Can I replace the fan for a faster one?
Yes

My fan mounts the opposite way so how do I reverse the rotation?
My fan as soon as I switch spins twice and comes out and hits the filter. What can be done?
The wires from my wall have no colored wires and i didnt take a picture. Am i screwed?
How do u just remove the fan
Unable to find the part shown in video. The ones I see online all have the white end connection.
The connector can be cut off. As well. Good luck.
@@StatUpBox that wouldn’t work. I have a red cable and brown cable that connects to the hood switch.
Can the old wire from the old fan be connected to the new one? Maybe a option
