Owner’s manual
Can range hoods be repaired?
Yes. Kenmore range hoods like model 23352054003 are designed to be repaired; most problems are fixed by cleaning, tightening, or replacing common service parts such as filters, switches, or the fan motor. Use the owner's manual for model-specific access and service guidance.
What range hood problems are usually repairable?
Most repairs are straightforward because the hood is built from separate, replaceable components.
- Fan runs but airflow is weak (often a clogged grease filter or blocked duct)
- Fan will not run (often a fan switch, wiring connection, or motor)
- Lights do not work (often a bulb issue, socket, or light switch)
- Excess noise or vibration (often a loose baffle, filter, or mounting screw)
- Fan speeds act up (often a worn switch)
Parts that commonly fix the issue on model 23352054003
If cleaning does not solve it, these are frequent replacement parts for this Kenmore range hood.
| Symptom | What to check first | Common part to replace |
|---|---|---|
| Fan will not run | Power, wiring, switch | Range hood fan switch SR99030319 |
| Lights do not work | Bulb, socket, switch | Range hood light switch SR561138 |
| Grease buildup, poor airflow | Filter condition | Range hood grease filter S99010316 |
| Recirculating odors | Charcoal filter (if equipped) | Range hood charcoal filter S99010317 |
| Rattling or vibration | Baffle seated correctly | Range hood baffle SR99091073 |
Quick repair checklist (before buying parts)
- Turn off power at the breaker before opening the hood.
- Remove and clean the grease filter; reinstall it fully seated.
- Check the vent path for blockage (damper stuck, crushed duct, heavy grease).
- Confirm the correct fan speed is selected and the knob is not slipping.
- Listen for motor hum; a humming motor with no airflow often points to a failing motor or jammed blower.
Why it matters
A repair usually restores airflow and reduces smoke and grease buildup in the kitchen. Keeping filters clean also helps the fan motor run cooler and last longer.

How do I know what model range hood I have?
Your Kenmore range hood model number is printed on the appliance’s rating label. On Kenmore range hoods like model 23352054003, that label is most often on the top of the hood, on the underside near the front edge, or behind the grease filter. Use the exact model number to match parts and diagrams.
Where to look for the model number label
Check these common spots (power off the hood first):
- Top of the hood (often visible from inside the cabinet above)
- Underside of the hood near the light lens or control area
- Behind the grease filter (remove the filter and look on the inner frame)
- Inside the wiring or blower area cover (if your design has an access panel)
For model-specific label location notes and diagrams, use the owner's manual.
What the label looks like (and what to write down)
The label usually includes several identifiers. Record them exactly as shown:
- Model number (example format: 233.52054xxx or 23352054003)
- Serial number (helps confirm production run)
- Electrical rating (volts/amps) for safe troubleshooting
Quick checklist
| Item on label | Why it matters | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Model number | Ensures correct parts fit | 23352054003 |
| Serial number | Helps confirm exact build | Varies |
| Electrical rating | Helps with safe diagnosis | Varies |
Why it matters
Kenmore range hood parts like a grease filter, fan switch, or motor can look similar across models but mount differently. Using the exact model number prevents ordering the wrong component and helps you find the correct diagrams and repair steps.

What are the parts of a range hood called?
On a Kenmore range hood like model 23352054003, the main parts are typically the hood body (canopy), filters, blower (fan and motor), ducting or vent transition, lighting, and the control switches/knobs. For the exact component names used for your hood, check the exploded-view diagrams in the owner's manual.
Common range hood part names (and what they do)
- Canopy or hood body: the metal housing that captures smoke and steam
- Grease filter or baffle: traps grease before air reaches the blower
- Charcoal filter (recirculating setups): reduces odors when not venting outdoors
- Blower assembly (fan + motor): moves air through the hood
- Vent transition and ductwork: connects the hood to ducting (or directs recirculated air)
- Light system: lamp, lens/reflector, socket
- Controls: fan switch, light switch, speed selector, knobs
Parts you will commonly replace on model 23352054003
These are common wear items and frequently ordered components:
- Range hood grease filter S99010316
- Range hood charcoal filter S99010317
- Range hood fan switch SR99030319
- Range hood light switch SR561138
- Motor (gray) 99080667
- Reflector (white) 97018564
Quick reference: part name vs. what you might call it
| What you might call it | Common parts-list name | Example for this model |
|---|---|---|
| “Mesh filter” | Grease filter | S99010316 |
| “Odor filter” | Charcoal filter | S99010317 |
| “Fan control” | Fan switch | SR99030319 |
| “Light button” | Light switch | SR561138 |
| “Blower motor” | Motor | 99080667 |
Why it matters
Using the correct parts-list name (and matching part ID) helps you order the right replacement the first time, especially for look-alike items such as grease filters vs. charcoal filters, or fan switch vs. light switch.

What is the life expectancy of a range hood?
Most range hoods, including the Kenmore 23352054003, last about 15 years; a typical lifespan range is 10 to 20 years. Regular filter cleaning and keeping the blower area free of grease are the biggest factors in reaching the high end of that range.
Typical lifespan and what shortens it
A range hood usually wears out from airflow restriction (grease buildup) or electrical and motor wear.
- Heavy daily cooking (especially frying) shortens life
- Running the hood with clogged filters strains the motor
- Excess heat and steam can age switches and wiring
- Loose or restricted ducting reduces airflow and increases noise
- Skipping routine cleaning lets grease harden on the baffle and blower
Maintenance that extends life (best ROI)
Use these habits to keep your Kenmore 23352054003 performing like it should.
- Clean the grease filter or baffle on a consistent schedule
- Replace damaged or permanently clogged filtration parts
- Wipe the underside of the hood and around the light area to prevent grease migration
- Verify the vent path is clear and properly sized
- If the fan or lights act intermittent, inspect and replace worn switches
Quick schedule (typical home use)
| Item | What to do | Typical interval |
|---|---|---|
| Grease filtration | Wash or replace as needed | Every 3 to 8 weeks |
| Charcoal filtration (recirculating setups) | Replace | Every 3 to 6 months |
| Fan performance | Check airflow and noise | Monthly |
| Ducting | Check for blockage or loose connections | Every 6 to 12 months |
Parts that commonly determine “end of life”
If the hood is otherwise in good shape, replacing a few parts often restores performance.
- Range hood grease filter S99010316
- Range hood charcoal filter S99010317
- Motor (gray) 99080667
- Range hood fan switch SR99030319
Why it matters
A range hood that is near the end of its life usually gets louder, moves less air, and leaves more smoke and odors in the kitchen. Keeping filtration and airflow in good shape protects the motor and helps the hood ventilate effectively.
