If the lights on your Westinghouse Ventilation Hood work, but the fan isn't spinning, is stuck, or is rattling, consider the following: The thermal protection system may have shut the motor down because it was too hot. In this case, the motor will function properly after the thermal protection system cools down (after approximately 10 min.). Also, check that the fan isn’t jammed or scraping the bottom. If these steps don't resolve the issue, the motor may be defective or seized, and you should replace it.
