Why your New Aldes commercial kitchen hood is making loud noise
A New Aldes commercial kitchen hood that is making loud noise tends to show the same signs: grinding, buzzing, or rattling — usually a worn fan or drive motor, failing bearings, or a loose part vibrating against the housing. The usual culprit is debris caught in the blower housing.
Most likely causes
- A loose or unbalanced fan wheel
- A loose motor mount or duct connection
- Worn motor bearings
Known New Aldes commercial kitchen hood weak points
- ERV/HRV core fouling and reduced recovery efficiency
- constant-airflow regulator and damper actuator faults
- exhaust fan motor and bearing wear
- control/zone-board and airflow sensor failures
Quick check — and when it's not DIY
There's one thing worth checking before you book anyone: run it briefly to hear whether the noise is load-related or constant. Should that not clear it, a steady mechanical noise past that point usually means a bearing, motor, or compressor is wearing out, and running it further can turn a small repair into a full replacement.
How we fix it
First we diagnose the New Aldes commercial kitchen hood end to end, so you're not paying to swap parts on a guess. OEM American Aldes parts (ERV cores, airflow controls, fans, dampers) are available through its US distribution; Aldes makes indoor-air-quality ventilation, not commercial kitchen grease hoods, so it is not a Type I hood source. Most making loud noise jobs finish same-day, at a flat price, under our warranty.
Independent ventilation service experienced with American Aldes ERV and exhaust ventilation equipment; not an authorized or factory-affiliated Aldes representative.
