Broan 103023 range hood Parts

To identify your range hood model, we look for the rating label (model and serial tag) on the hood itself. On Broan model 103023-STYLE hoods, it’s commonly on the top, the underside, or behind the grease filter; match the model number exactly.

Where to find the model number label

Check these spots in this order:

• Behind the grease filter: remove the filter and look on the inner frame or side wall
• Underside of the hood: around the light area or blower opening
• Top of the hood: especially if the hood is inside a wood canopy
• Inside the wiring box area: near the electrical connection cover
• On the rough-in plate area (if accessible): sometimes near mounting or duct openings

Quick steps to access the label safely

1. Turn off power to the hood at the breaker (service panel).
2. Remove the grease filter by rotating the retaining clips and pulling the filter out.
3. Use a flashlight and take a photo of the label so you can zoom in.

What to write down from the label

Label item	Why we need it	Example
Model number	Ensures correct parts and diagrams	103023
Serial number	Helps confirm production version	Varies
Brand	Confirms manufacturer family	Broan

Why it matters

The exact model number controls which parts fit (like a grease filter, switch, wire harness, or blower assembly) and which installation details apply (mounting height, ducting, and electrical requirements). For example, the installation instructions for model 103023 specify typical mounting height guidance and reference checking the product specification label for requirements.

Helpful references for this model

• Use the 103023 installation guide to see service access points like filter removal and general hood identification details.
• If you need to match a filter or internal component after you confirm the model, common model-specific parts include the range hood grease filter S97007725.

Yes. Broan is a solid, reliable brand for range hoods, and the Broan 103023 wood hood kit is built for everyday domestic cooking ventilation when it’s installed correctly and maintained (especially the filter and blower area). Use the 103023 installation guide to match the hood to your ducting and mounting requirements.

What “good” means for a Broan range hood

A good range hood clears smoke, grease, and odors consistently, fits your kitchen setup (ducted or ductless), and stays safe and serviceable over time.

Common strengths we see with Broan hoods:

• Practical designs that focus on ventilation basics
• Straightforward installation and service access
• Widely available replacement parts (filters, switches, blower components)
• Good value for typical home cooking needs

What to watch for (so you’re happy long-term)

Most “mixed reviews” on any range hood come down to installation choices and maintenance, not the brand.

Pay attention to these factors:

• Mounting height: Many hoods are designed to be installed about 18 to 24 inches above the cooking surface (check your guide for your exact setup).
• Ducting quality: Undersized ductwork, long runs, or too many elbows reduce airflow.
• Noise expectations: Higher fan speeds move more air and usually sound louder.
• Grease buildup: A clogged grease filter restricts airflow and can make the blower louder.

Quick comparison: Broan vs what most homeowners expect

What you want	What to check on model 103023	Why it matters
Strong ventilation	Duct size, duct path, blower condition	Better smoke and odor capture
Reasonable noise	Clean filter, secure mounting, balanced blower	Less vibration and rattling
Easy upkeep	Filter access and cleaning routine	Keeps airflow steady
Serviceable parts	Availability of filters, switches, blower parts	Lower repair cost over time

Parts that commonly affect performance

If performance drops, these parts are often involved:

• Range hood grease filter S97007725 (restricted airflow when dirty)
• Range hood blower assembly S97010327 (weak airflow, noise, or failure)
• Switch S97016970 (fan or lights not responding)

Why it matters

A range hood is a safety and comfort appliance. When the hood is mounted at the right height, vented correctly, and kept clean, Broan hoods typically deliver dependable ventilation for everyday cooking.

A range hood is made up of the hood body (canopy), a blower and blower housing, controls (switches or speed control), lighting, and filters. On the Broan 103023 wood hood kit, you will also see items like a grease filter, wiring components, and a Heat Sentry thermostat; see the installation guide for the full parts breakdown.

Common range hood parts (plain-English names)

Most Broan range hoods use these core components:

• Hood canopy or liner: the body that captures smoke and grease
• Blower (fan) assembly: moves air through the hood
• Blower housing: the enclosure that directs airflow
• Grease filter: traps grease before it reaches the blower and duct
• Controls: speed control and light switch
• Lights: lamp holders, starters (on fluorescent setups), and lenses/covers

Model 103023 parts you will commonly hear referenced

These are real part names you may see when ordering or troubleshooting this Broan range hood:

• Range hood grease filter S97007725
• Range hood blower assembly S97010327
• Range hood blower housing S97007487
• Thermostat sentry S97007424
• Switch S97016970

Quick mapping: “what people call it” vs “parts list name”

What you call it	What it may be listed as	What it does
Fan	Blower assembly	Pulls air, smoke, and odors
Fan box	Blower housing	Channels airflow, supports blower
Filter	Grease filter	Catches grease, helps protect blower
Auto high-heat feature	Heat Sentry thermostat	Forces high speed when heat is detected
Buttons/knob	Switch or speed control	Turns fan and lights on and off

Why it matters

Using the right name helps you match the correct Broan part to the symptom. For example, a hood that “turns on by itself” is often tied to the Heat Sentry thermostat behavior, while “fan doesn’t work” points more toward the switch, wiring, or blower.

Some Broan range hoods are made in the USA, but it varies by product line and where the unit is manufactured. For your Broan model 103023 (wood hood kit), the best way to confirm origin is to check the product specification label and the documentation in the 103023 installation guide.

How to confirm where your 103023 was made

Use these quick checks on the actual hood kit and packaging:

• Look for a specification label inside the hood or on the liner area; it often lists manufacturing location.
• Check the carton label (if you still have it) for country of origin.
• Review the installation paperwork for any labeling notes or identification plates.
• If your hood was installed as a kit, verify the rough-in components used (the 103023 kit requires a prior rough-in kit); origin can differ by sub-assembly.
• Match the installed components to the service parts list to ensure you are identifying the correct assembly.

What the installation guide tells us (and why it matters)

The installation guide for model 103023 focuses on safe installation and performance requirements (for example, mounting height and ducting). It also directs you to read the specification label on the product for further information, which is where country of origin is typically stated.

Quick spec check table

What to check	Where to find it	What you are looking for
Specification label	Inside hood, behind filter or near wiring area	“Made in …” statement or manufacturing location
Model/serial tag	Inside hood body	Confirms you are checking the correct unit
Packaging label	Outside carton	Country of origin line

Why it matters

Country of origin can affect what you expect for labeling, compliance markings, and sometimes which replacement parts fit best. When ordering parts for a Broan range hood, we recommend matching by model number 103023 and the exact part ID.

If you are replacing common wear items, start with the range hood grease filter S97007725 and confirm it matches your installed filter style.
