I have a zephyr savona zsa- m90s range hood that is making alot of noise when operating on medium range. the unit is 12 years old should I replace the fan motor at this time
I own a Savona Zephyr that I bought in 2007. 5 years later, the motor made a rough sound and I ended up buying a new motor and installed it. Yes, that fixed it but I was rather upset that a fan costing $650 needed a new motor 5 years later. I called their service and they said that was typical.
Oiling Will not help. The bearings are shot.
Now it's 16 years since purchase and it happened again. I decided to see if I can fix it and it is fixable with only a few tools most people own.
Remove the vent hood from the wall and place it on 2 chairs supporting each side. Remove the screens.
Remove the 4 screws hold the fan motor to the hood, supporting the motor from underneath.
Place the hood on it's back and lay the motor so the lines don't stretch.
Remove the ground wire to get extra movement. If the main wires go into a plastic box, remove the screws to the box cover and place side. This allows the motor to lay on the floor.
4 screws hold the fan casing together. Remove those. Mark one side with white out. When you remove it, put white out on the hub of the fan to remember which side is which. Also mark the end of the axle that the fan is on to know which side to put the fan blade on.
Lift the fan out of the casing.
Using an adjustable wrench or a 13 mm socket, hold the fan blade (it will be oily and disgusting) and turn the nut counter clockwise. It is a compression nut. Do this on both sides, trying not to knock off the white out.
The motor casing is 2 long screws. Remove them.
Slide off the casing end. It has a bearing on the bottom of it that is easily pushed out with a screwdriver.
Pull the motor core from the main housing and place somewhere gently. There is a spring and washer that you need to save and remember to put back in. The shaft should have a bearing on it. One or both of them is damaged and needs to be replaced. I bought mine at Ace hardware for $10. I also bought some c clips because the plastic ones on the shaft broke into pieces. They need to be replaced.
To fix, put in the new bearing. There may be a rubber sleeve on one end that has to be moved to the new bearing. Reassemble the motor the way you took it apart. The challenging steps are putting in the c clips and then reassembling the entire unit getting the correct order. There are plastic fairing pieces that have to be put on the shaft before putting the motor back in the blower housing. Then they have to be clipped in. Take your time... it's doable. Put the plastic fairings and motor in the blower housing without the fan blades on so you can manipulate the fairings into place. Make sure the axle with the white out matches the white out on the fairing. You will need to remove the casing screens which was one small screw on my unit to be able to reach in. Once the blower casing is together with the 4 screws, put the correctly marked fan blade on the correctly marked axle. Hold the fan blade while you tighten the compression nut firmly but not so hard that you break the fan blade. Put the screens on. Put the blower back in the hood with the 4 screws. Reattach the grinding wire and the plastic box cover and you're done. The bearing and clips were $12. It's a 19mm bearing but in inches it's .748 inches OD and .2362 inches ID.
good luck. They are beautiful fans with bearings that fail in the heat they operate in. The bearings can't be greased. They must be replaced.
Black soot in my oven

How do I turn the volume down or turn off the beep from my Frigidaire Gallery 5.0 cu. ft. Gas Range when the oven reaches its intended temperature?
As copied from the manual.
Setting a silent control panel
When choosing a function, a beep will be heard each time a pad is pressed. If desired, the control can be programmed for silent operation. Press and hold (start/time) . After 7 seconds, the control will beep once. This will block the controls from sounding when a pad is pressed. To return the sound, press and hold (start/time) again for 7 seconds until the control beeps once
NOTE!
The OVEN indicator light on the electronic display will turn ON and OFF when using the Bake feature and during preheat. This is normal and indicates that the oven is cycling to maintain the selected baking temperature. When the preheat indicator light turns OFF, your oven is ready.
Error code on keypad EE L before screen went out.
Hi
Error code EE means temperature sensor issue. This error appears when the oven temperature turns bad or when a high temperature is detected by the sensor. Try and unplug the range for 1-2 hours and check if this clears the error. Hope this helps... Please post back if you need more information.

My oven says f2 error on my stove what does that mean
F2 indicates thermistor has short-circuited therefore not operational. It does not necessarily imply the thermistor is at fault. The wiring harness might be at cause. A qualified service technician will need to have a look, determine faulty part then replace or repair it.
