Broan-NuTone is a name you find in the background of well-functioning homes, often for decades. The S97012026 fan motor is a classic example of that quiet, sustained reliability. This is the direct OEM replacement part for a range of their range hoods, and its strong reputation with over 1,200 customers is built on doing one job consistently well.

At 52 watts, this motor provides a solid, dependable airflow for standard kitchen ventilation. The two-pin connector makes installation straightforward for anyone comfortable with basic wiring. In daily use, it means your hood moves air predictably and quietly, clearing steam and light odors without drawing attention to itself. It’s a workhorse component designed for longevity, not flashy features.

This part is about restoration, not upgrade. It returns your Broan hood to its original, intended performance. Ensure your model number is compatible, as this is a specific OEM solution. For a no-fuss replacement that gets a core appliance back in reliable service, this motor is the clear choice.
