Hi I've got a Baumatic F60.2SS cooker hood which has been making a horrible vibrating/rattling sound since we moved in almost a year ago. It still works as I can feel the air coming out of the vent on the outside of the house it just makes a racket you can hardly talk over. I've heard of this problem before and think that replacing the impeller http://www.espares.co.uk/part/cooke...399180/1386373/cooker-hood-impeller.html?rf=4 is the way to go.

Do you guys reckon that this is the problem and how would I go about replacing it once the part arrives? Is it a difficult job?

Hope this post is in the right place!

If you are mechanically minded I wouldn't think you would find it difficult.

However, I would think a new impeller unlikely to solve the problem.
There isn't much to go wrong with the impeller itself - although, I suppose it could have become loose.

If it is rattling it is more likely to be a worn bearing or something warped which is fouling the impeller.
 
Hi thanks for the reply. I'm not particularly mechanically minded but having read the 31 reviews of this part a lot of people seemed to have the same problem and once replaced it seemed a lot quieter. I may give it a go anyway given the relatively cheap price and awful din when cooking!

I have gone out on repairs where the impeller has come loose and will be very noisy whilst running loose.
It's normally a matter of getting inside the unit and fixing it back on.
