Broan QP130WW range hood Parts

Your Broan range hood’s model number is printed on the specification (rating) label on the hood itself. On the Broan QP130WW, you’ll typically find that label on the top of the hood, on the underside, or behind one of the grease filters; match the exact model number on the label to order the right parts.

Where to look for the model number label

Check these common spots on a Broan range hood:

• Top of the hood (often easiest to see from inside the cabinet above)
• Underside of the hood near the light panel or controls
• Behind a grease filter (remove the filter and look on the inner housing)
• Inside the wiring box area (near the wiring box cover, depending on layout)

Use the location diagrams and product notes in the QP130WW owner's manual to confirm the most likely label position for your installation.

How to read the label (and what to write down)

When you find the label, record these items exactly as shown:

• Model number (example: QP130WW)
• Series or variant letters (if present)
• Electrical rating (useful for bulbs and wiring checks)
• Ducting configuration notes (helpful when buying filters or connectors)

Quick checklist

What you see on the label	Why it matters
Model number (QP130WW)	Ensures diagrams and parts match your hood
Variant (such as a “C” suffix)	Can change switches, filters, or trim
Voltage and bulb type	Helps you buy correct replacement bulbs

Why it matters

Range hood parts are model-specific. Using the exact model number helps ensure the correct fit for items like a fan switch, motor kit, capacitor, and filters, and it keeps installation and maintenance steps aligned with the manufacturer’s instructions.

If your Broan QP130WW range hood isn’t working, the most common causes are a power supply problem, a tripped motor thermal overload (it shuts off when overheated and restarts after cooling), or a failed control component such as the fan switch or motor capacitor. Use the QP130WW owner's manual to confirm normal operation and safety steps.

Quick checks we recommend first

• Verify the hood has power (breaker on, wall switch on if your hood is switched).
• If the fan stopped during heavy cooking, wait 20 to 30 minutes; the motor’s thermal overload can shut it off when overheated.
• Check that the grease filters are clean and seated correctly; heavy grease buildup restricts airflow and can overheat the motor.
• Make sure the blower wheel is not rubbing or jammed by debris.
• Confirm the hood is installed 24 to 30 inches above the cooktop for best capture and airflow.

What the symptoms usually mean

What you notice	Most likely cause	What to do next
Nothing works (no lights, no fan)	No power to hood, wiring issue	Check breaker, outlet, and connections; restore power before testing
Lights work but fan doesn’t	Failed fan switch, capacitor, or motor	Test the switch and capacitor; inspect motor for binding
Fan hums but won’t spin	Stuck blower wheel or weak capacitor	Check for obstruction; consider replacing the capacitor
Fan runs then shuts off	Motor overheating (thermal overload)	Clean filters, improve airflow, verify ducting and installation height

Parts that commonly fix “not working” on QP130WW

If testing points to a failed component, these model-matched parts are common fixes:

• Range hood fan switch 97017729 (fan speed and on/off control)
• Capacitor S97017736 (helps the motor start and run)
• Motor kit S97017732 (for noisy bearings, overheating, or a seized motor)
• Range hood filter S97017720 (restricted airflow can contribute to overheating)

Why it matters

A range hood that is not venting well can overheat the blower motor and trigger the thermal overload. Keeping filters clean and airflow unrestricted helps the QP130WW run cooler, quieter, and more effectively.

A Broan range hood like model QP130WW is built from a blower system (motor and fan), filters, ducting or recirculation components, lighting, and simple controls (switches). These parts work together to capture grease, move air, and light the cooktop.

Main parts you will typically find

• Blower assembly: motor plus impeller (fan) that moves air
• Filters: aluminum grease filters; optional charcoal filters for non-ducted setups (changed about every 6 months)
• Duct connector and damper (ducted installations): helps route air into ductwork and prevents backdraft
• Light system: lamp sockets and halogen bulbs (MR16, GU10 base; 120V, 35W shielded)
• Controls: rocker switches for blower speed and light intensity
• Housing and mounting hardware: hood body, light panel, wiring box cover, mounting screws

How the QP130WW controls are laid out

The QP130WW uses 3-position rocker switches for both the blower and the lights.

Control	0 position	1 position	2 position
Blower switch	Off	Low speed	High speed
Light switch	Off	Low intensity	High intensity

Parts you may replace most often

These are common service items when performance drops or a control stops responding:

• Range hood filter S97017720 (grease filter set)
• Range hood fan switch 97017729 (blower on, off, speed control)
• Motor kit S97017732 (if bearings get noisy or the motor fails)
• Capacitor S97017736 (helps the motor start and run properly)
• Range hood light bulb suction cup tool 99526707 (helps install and remove hot or recessed bulbs)

Why it matters

Knowing the major range hood parts helps you troubleshoot faster. For example, weak airflow often points to a clogged filter or duct restriction, while a blower that will not run can point to the fan switch, capacitor, or motor.

Helpful next steps

• Confirm whether your hood is ducted or non-ducted (recirculating).
• Clean grease filters regularly; replace charcoal filters on schedule for recirculating setups.
• Use the bulb type specified for this hood (MR16, GU10, 120V, 35W shielded).
• Follow the wiring and mounting details in the QP130WW owner's manual.
