Range Hood parts
Almost every range hood complaint is grease. Filters that have never been washed, a blower wheel packed solid, or a damper flap glued shut with cooking residue. Actual part failures are limited to the blower motor, the switches and the lights, and all three are inexpensive.

Find your range hood model number first
No supplier can sell you the right part without it, and the name printed on the front of the appliance is not it.
Behind the grease filters
Pull the mesh or baffle filters out and look up into the cavity. The tag is usually on the underside of the hood body — this is the standard location.
Inside the chimney cover
On chimney-style hoods, slide the decorative cover up to expose the body and check the top of the housing.
On the top of the hood body
For an under-cabinet hood, the tag can be on the top face, which means looking from inside the cabinet above.
What the tag looks like
8 to 14 characters. Note the width and the duct configuration too — 30-inch and 36-inch hoods share model families, and vertical, rear and ductless configurations use different dampers and filters.
What fails on a range hood
Ordered most-replaced first. Prices are typical retail ranges for the part alone — not quotes, and not including labour. Confirm the part against your model number before you order.
| Part | What you notice | Install | Typical price | Lifespan |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Grease filter (mesh or baffle) | Poor extraction, grease on the cabinet fronts, and a fan working audibly harder. | easy2 minutes | $15–$65Aftermarket is fine | Wash monthly; replace every 2–5 years |
| Charcoal filter (ductless) | Cooking smells linger even with the fan on full. | easy5–10 minutes | $15–$55Aftermarket is fine | 6–12 months |
| Blower wheel | Rattle, vibration, or a marked drop in airflow with clean filters. | moderate1–2 hours | $20–$80Either works | 10–15 years |
| Blower motor | Fan hums without turning, runs on one speed only, or has stopped entirely. | moderate1–3 hours | $60–$260Buy OEM | 10–15 years |
| Speed switch or control panel | One speed missing, a switch that has to be held, or a touch panel that ignores you. | easy30–60 minutes | $12–$90Either works | 8–15 years |
| Light socket and lamp | Cooktop light dead, flickering, or working on one side only. | easy15–30 minutes | $8–$40Aftermarket is fine | 3–10 years |
| Damper flap | Cold draught down the duct when the fan is off, or a flapping noise in wind. | easy20–40 minutes | $10–$40Aftermarket is fine | 8–15 years |

5 of these 7 parts need nothing more than a screwdriver. Before you accept a repair quote on a range hood, it is worth knowing which tier the part sits in — the labour is usually the larger half of the bill.
OEM or aftermarket for a range hood
Paying OEM for everything is waste. Saving on the wrong part costs you the repair twice.
Filters, lamps, switches and damper flaps are generic parts sold on dimensions; buy on fit. Blower motors are worth OEM on branded hoods, because the wheel, motor and housing are balanced as an assembly and a mismatched motor makes a hood that howls at every speed.
- Buy OEM on this appliance
- Blower motor
- Aftermarket is fine
- Grease filter, Charcoal filter, Light socket and lamp, Damper flap
- Either works — buy on price
- Blower wheel, Speed switch or control panel
- Still under warranty?
- Call the manufacturer before you buy anything. A covered repair costs nothing, and fitting a part yourself first can complicate the claim.

Not sure the range hood is worth the part?
Check what it is still worth before you spend. The Appliance Blue Book takes its age, brand tier and condition and tells you whether a repair still makes sense — or points you at someone local who can quote the job properly.
