- In this video we install a new motor on a Captive Aire hood. This process is pretty simple after you have dona a few, but can sometimes be pretty difficult. There are a few things that need to be improved on these, so hopefully Captive Aire will check this out.
Have your engineers watch this for me.

Man that crescent wrench trick just saved my butt! Thanks for the video!
I will add you to my "saved butts" list! 😄
Sub'd since the behive in the tree post. Glad you're still around.
Thank you for the video
Great video 👍 always seems to be a design flaw in most units. I guess that's what keeps us busy! As an electrician the biggest issue we have is them Chinese build fixtures lol
Hi Reuben,
Great video. Question: I have to replace the 4 rubber vibration absorbers that the motor housing screws down on top of - I e. the design by which the motor screws into the base of the fan housing.
I am wondering about the 4 threaded studs on the base of the motor - not the bolts that screw through the holes in the motor housing that tie into those 4 rubber bushings that hold the motor in place.
Do those 4 bottom threaded studs in the motor get screwed to anything, or are they just alignment or guide studs? It looked like when you pulled the motor out, and put it back in, those 4 threaded studs were not tightened to anything, they just align the motor to the base of the fan housing?
Am I right on that? It seems like the only things that get bolted down are the two set screws that affix the motor shaft to the fan, and the 4 motor housing bolts that screw into the rubber mounting absorber studs? Am I right on that? Thise rubber vibration mounting bushings that attach the motor to the face of the fan housing appear to just rest in the aluminium base of the fan housing - is that tight?
The 4 rubber vibration studs that the motor bolts in to on my fan have deteriorated and broke. My motor and fan are running fine - but the motor is just resting on the top of the housing - nolonger affixed to the housing... not good
So I'm thinking I could buy the 4 little rubber vibration studs from Captive Aire and just replace them and rebolt the motor on properly.
What do you think? Are those 4 rubber mounting studs merely positioned into the aluminium base of the fan and held in place because the motor mounting bolts - once rescrewed in - hold the motor and rubber mounting studs in place?
Any advice would be most helpful...

I have had that same issue before! I show what I did for a temporary fix at a restaurant, and replaced the rubber vibration mounts later. There is a link to the mounts you need in the video description.
Can u send link on where to get those rubber mounts mine just broke off and motor is vibrating. Can't find anything or maybe u have a part number
I would recommend calling captive aire and give them the model number. They are good to work with and will be able to get you the right part number.

Here is what I did to one that needed to be operational day of. I don't exactly recommend this, but it did work for me and has been working fine.
@ReubenSahlstrom thank u I will try this out sheet metal screws what length do you recommend? I'm thinking not long at all I don't have the hinges to rest the fan on and I really don't wanna pull all that up lol I really don't wanna screw into something
Brother Ben ?
Yep!
@@ReubenSahlstromWe know of an electrician contractor who refuses to work on anything restaurant related due to the "grease" build up being a real mess to deal with. I get that but at the same time, those who do likely make it worth their while.
