I seriously doubt the fan died... the motor died... buy a new motor.

Nonsense. Who told you such claptrap... most any electrical supply
store can locate a replacement motor in five minutes, and most likely
a far better quality motor than the one that died. You can probably
(easily) find one on line... did you even look, search <electric
motors>.

I would take the old motor to a local Grainger outlet for a replacement.

Did you check with a real electrical supply house or appliance parts
reseller? Big Box is a total waste of time especially for stuff like
replacement parts.

We have one business in town that sells nothing but parts for appliance
repair. ANYthing you can imagine for ANY brand, I think? We've
reconditioned and repaired washers, refrigerators, dishwashers with
parts there instead of just replacing. I bet they could help you.
Look in the yellow pages under "Appliance, Parts"

Try this website - my appliance repair guy (he's a keeper!) uses this
site to find appliance parts. It may help or may not to find the motor
for the exhaust fan.

"Point and Click Appliance Repair"
