Vida Exhaust Fan Mechanical Imbalance

Over-the-range Vida microwave exhaust fan is very noisy, rattling, or vibrating excessively.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Loose blower wheel, Debris in blower housing, Worn exhaust fan motor bearings, Loose mounting hardware

Safety: Turn off power at the breaker before working on an over-the-range unit.

Steps:

1. Remove top grille: Access the blower assembly per the Vida installation manual.
2. Inspect blower wheel: Check for debris and ensure the wheel is firmly attached to the motor shaft.
3. Tighten hardware: Tighten any loose screws on the blower housing and mounting brackets.

If the motor shaft has play or the noise persists, replace the exhaust fan motor and blower wheel assembly.
