repairing a small appliance motor

[mike perez]

Hi all, long time no see!

I've got a fan motor in the range hood over my gas stove that has stopped working. A replacement for this motor is $93. Anyone have any pointers on why a motor would go bad and if the fix is cheaper than $93?

$75 on eBay http://m.ebay.com/itm/Broan-Nutone-Genuine-Range-Hood-Motor-99080535-SR99080535-QS130-QS136-QS142-/141520182999?nav=SEARCH more searching could probably find a cheaper compatible motor, you'd need the specs of the original and then match it with a motor of the same or similar enough specs (size, voltage, rpm, shaft dimensions, mounting, etc).

Motors do occasionally go bad. Here's a really good resource for learning about repairing such stuff: http://www.repairfaq.org/sam/appfaq.htm
