A049969 Genuine Ventilation Motor MM26 L for Ariston Appliances, Ariston Ventilation Fan Motor, Indesit Whirlpool Group Spare

A049969 is a genuine Ariston ventilation motor, listed in the parts description with the reference MM26 L. A ventilation motor drives a fan that moves air through or around an appliance, for example to cool the controls or to extract air. Our records don't name the Ariston appliance this motor belongs to, so check A049969 and the MM26 L reference against your old motor before ordering.

Signs an Ariston ventilation motor is failing

Fan motors usually give some warning before they stop. Bearings dry out and start to whine, rattle or grind, the fan may be slow to start or need a nudge, and eventually the motor seizes or the winding burns out. When a ventilation fan stops, heat can build up where it shouldn't, so you might see controls running hot, steam or condensation lingering, or the appliance cutting out on its safety thermostat. A burning smell from the motor area is a sign to stop using the appliance.

Replacing the motor

Isolate the power before you start, at the circuit breaker if the appliance is hard-wired, and have a licensed electrician fit it in that case. Let the appliance cool. Photograph the motor's wiring and mounting, then remove the fan blade or wheel if it transfers across. Fit the new motor in the same position, reconnect it exactly as before and run it to check for noise.
