Kenmore Elite Range hood Parts — Browse All Models

When the fan doesn’t work, start by confirming the hood has power. Cycling through fan speeds can help you tell whether the switch or motor is responding at all. A silent motor or unresponsive switch usually points toward a failing component or a wiring issue.

A set of lights that don’t work can result from burned-out bulbs, but sockets often suffer from heat damage over time. Look for darkened terminals or looseness in the socket. The light switch and wiring should also be checked if new bulbs do not solve the issue.

Slow or weak ventilation often indicates airflow restrictions. When the fan isn’t pulling much air, greasy filters or a blocked duct can be the culprits. Motors that struggle on higher speeds may also be too worn to maintain proper airflow.

Range hoods work in a harsh environment, and certain parts naturally wear out from heat, grease and frequent use. Below are components commonly replaced in Kenmore Elite models.

• Grease filters: These screens trap grease and protect the blower. When they become saturated, airflow drops and noise can increase, so swapping in fresh filters helps restore normal performance.
• Fan motor: A tired motor can produce humming, slow rotation or overheating. When ventilation strength drops, installing a new fan motor often brings the hood back to full power.
• Fan switch: Speed settings that cut out or behave unpredictably often trace back to a worn switch. Learning how to change the fan switch ensures the blower responds properly.
• Light socket: Heat and moisture wear down the socket contacts, creating flickering or dark bulbs even when the bulb is fine. Replacing the light socket usually resolves the issue.
• Control board: The board coordinates lights, speeds and power. When buttons stop responding or the hood behaves erratically, putting in a new control board restores consistent operation.

OEM parts match the exact specifications of your Kenmore Elite range hood. This provides proper fit, predictable performance and long-term reliability.

Using genuine parts helps your hood maintain strong airflow, dependable lighting and smooth daily operation.

You can order replacement filters for range hoods from Sears PartsDirect. Use the full model number of your range hood to look up the correct replacement filters.

Vibration, rattling or a loud hum usually signals a loose blower wheel, blocked airflow or a weakening motor. When the exhaust fan is noisy, examining the blower wheel and filters is a good place to start.

A hood that loses both functions at once often has a power supply or wiring problem. When the lights and fan don’t work, the control board may also be preventing the system from powering up.

Range hoods should be washed regularly with a clean cloth, warm water and mild detergent. Rinse well with clean water and dry immediately. Use manufacturer-recommended stainless-steel polish on stainless-steel range hoods. Refer to your owner’s manual for specific guidelines on cleaning the range hood.

When the fan isn’t pulling much air, grease buildup or duct blockages often interfere with airflow. A motor that can no longer reach full speed can also reduce ventilation strength.
