I read an account of someone replacing the original noisy fan with a computer cooling fan. I don't remember where I saw the article but the writer said that the new fan was almost silent and moved twice as much air as the original fan.

This one is the right size, 6 inches = 150 mm, and has a silicone gasket to keep vibration noise down. Plus it has good quality bearings.

I replaced my motor and fan in my Jensen range hood with a muffin fan. I still have the original fan and motor that works. I would recommend going to a computer type fan as they are way quieter and draws about 1/3 the current. IF you still want to replace your fan with the original type you can have mine. Give me a call at (707)998-1197.

Hard to say from the pictures but with computer fans the red and black will power it full speed (fan red+ MH black+) the other wires are for speed control. I put one in mine from any old computer no matter what you use as a replacement some assembly will be required. I can tell you the blades will get dirty fast. Pay attention the the flow arrows on the fan or you'll be pulling air in don't just reverse the wires the fan blades are designed to turn only one direction.

this is what fits my range hood (93 warrior). If you google around you can find one for a lot less. (Hengs M3 motor)

Thanks for the input. I wrote to Noctua, the company where I can get the right size fan, and they wrote back immediately. I can us the black and red wire on their 3-pin fans, the black and yellow on the 4-pin fans. I'll be sure to watch out for the flow arrows. I plan on making the fan easily removable for cleaning. Looks like it should be pretty simple to create a mounting situation in the existing space.

I ordered the next size down for a better fit in my range hood. It supposedly still moves about 75 cfm, which should do it. It will sure beat listening to the jet engine I've got in there now!
