791926 Genuine Rangehood Fan Motor with Capacitor for Fisher & Paykel, Delonghi Rangehoods HC90CGX1 BETA70SS BETA90SS DAU1570010

Part 791926 is the genuine fan motor for the Fisher & Paykel HC90CGX1 rangehood and the Delonghi BETA70SS and BETA90SS, supplied with its capacitor. It also carries the Delonghi number DAU1570010. If extraction has died, the fan hums without turning, or the motor has become loud and rough, this is the part that gets the hood pulling steam and smoke again.

Rangehood fan humming, noisy or not running?

The motor drives the fan that draws cooking fumes up through the grease filters and out through the duct or recirculation filter. Its capacitor helps it start and run properly, which is why they come together here. Common faults are a motor that hums but won't spin, weak extraction even on high, a fan that slows or stops once it warms up, and grinding or rattling from worn bearings. A burning smell, or a motor that trips the safety switch, points to failed windings. Grease build up from overdue filter cleaning shortens motor life, so keep the filters clean once the new one is in.

Changing the rangehood motor

Switch the rangehood off at the wall or isolate the circuit at the switchboard. If the hood is hard-wired, the motor must be replaced by a licensed electrician. Remove the filters and support the motor while you undo it, as it can drop once the last fixing comes out. Label the wires and capacitor leads before disconnecting, fit the new motor and capacitor, then test every fan speed.

Questions about this part

Is the capacitor included?

Yes. 791926 is supplied as the motor including its capacitor, so both are replaced in one go. That's worth having, because a weak capacitor can cause the same humming and slow starting as a failing motor.
