Help with identifying motor for Cooke and Lewis cooker hood

[n2n-man]

Our cooker hood has a problem in that the fan does not work but the lights come on OK. Its a Cooke and Lewis mode MOB90CL, its a 90cm wide hood with a telescopic section that pops out when its turned on.

I have taken the unit off the wall and have disconnected the motor. the fan impeller turns freely but it does have a lot of gunge on it. I am going to clean it up in the hope that this fixes it. If not any ideas where I can source a replacement motor? also what does the capacitor do? I have seen a range of them online and as they don’t seem to be that expensive. I was thinking of swapping out.

Many thanks

if the motor buzzes but does not start properly then it may be worth trying the cap

if there is no noise from the motor then its either the switch or the motor

Thanks Dave, not getting anything from the motor at all. Plus the controls are touch so I don’t think it’s them.
A new motor is quite expensive which is making me consider a replacement extractor instead.

controls may be touch but there will be an electronic circuit that controls everything. before you buy any component you have to be over 90{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} sure of your diagnosis and boards do fail

Hi Dave, I don’t think it’s the control, as the hood is telescopic, that part along with the lights still function OK. The motor buttons light up when the speed is selected. I have also tested the fuse on the board which is OK. Thanks

you cant assume unless you test

you need to check the output to the motor turns on and off
