Range hood info?

[nastonius]

Howdy y’all. Got a Prowler Lynx 30LX that has the Suburban propane oven/range, with the vent hood over it. The fan portion of the vent hood quit working (light still works), and I can’t find any model numbers or info on it.

Do they have a thermal reset on them by chance? Apparently we’ve been running it with the outside vent flap closed (wasn’t told it had to be open to vent properly when I bought it 🤦🏼*♂️), and hopefully we didn’t burn the motor up.

I think that Ventline range hoods have been what Heartland has used over the years. Here is a link for the 12 volt motor for these, but be sure to check the fuses and wiring - I haven't heard of one of these motors going bad over the years.

Thanks Bill. I haven’t been able to pull it apart yet and look at it. Fingers crossed it’s just a fuse

It should just share the same circuit fuse with the light. Mine is also on the circuit with the 12 vdc for the refrigerator lights and logic board. I had that fuse mysteriously intermittently blowing (and cutting off the refrigerator)while I was towing. Found the red wire intermittently rubbing on the grounded refrigerator metal frame.
The vent motor switch might be the culprit. I hope you can use a voltmeter (or 12vdc test light) to troubleshoot.

Finally had some time to pull it apart and check voltage and continuity. Turns out the fan motor has a thermal fuse on the white wire, and that is bad. $7 for a pack of 5 on Amazon, and I’ll be back to venting, correctly this time haha. I guess running the fan motor with three burners and the oven going with no place to vent finally got to it.

Thanks again for the help!
