Very helpful and thanks a lot. I have DA5986W. Do you know whether it's the same bearing size. How to remove the glass hood? it looks a little bit danger and tricky for the first time. Thanks again.

I'm doing the same bearing replacement for my Miele DA5100D hood right now. This is the second time the bearing got worn out, each time it lasts about 4 years before it starts to make noise. The bearing type is the same - 626ZZ (two Z suffix means it is sealed on both sides so the bearing doesn't get contaminated with debris, some bearing manufacturers just show one Z even if it has covers on both sides). This time I'm going to try an NTN or SKF brand bearing because those two bearing companies make the very best bearings. Apparently Miele is putting mediocre bearings into these fans, or the design of the motor makes the bearings too hot so they wear out fast. I found it easy to replace the bearing if you just take everything apart piece by piece. The bearing is loose on the spindle so it should slide right off, and if it is stuck, just takes a little bit of prying with a couple screwdrivers leveraged against the motor to make the bearing slide off. Such a small cheap part leading to the failure of these fancy premium exhaust fans.

why put music in the background?? i want to hear product

hi. this is very helpful. Any chance you can please post picture, video, or describe how to open the motor. Is it just the two screws at the bottom or more to it. The thingi in the center doesn't appear to be a snap ring. Or somehow the top body has to be disassembled so the motor can be detached from the body. I can't find anything online on Time TN249 motor other than this very helpful video.

Hi Philip thanks for this presentation. I'm having trouble removing the bearing which is closer to the rotor---any hints?

Hi Philip, thank you for the valuable video. I have the same noisy miele fime TN249. Could you tell us if the problem could be solved lubricating the fan? Which lubricant would you recommend? If lubrication is not solving the problem, where can we get the parts in the USA?

Thank you for the video. I have exactly the same issue and realized one the bearings jammed. I see the failed one has a spring between itself and the rotor. The bearing stuck and I don't know how to bring out. I tried with pliers and it didn't work. Any idea?

Hi, could you show and explain exactly how to take it apart and re assemble it please?

I had a recent bearing failure on a Miele DA2698 range hood and replaced the bearings myself. The unit was less than 3 years old (according to the FIME sticker on the blower - fabricated on 06/05/19). It was the left bearing that failed. The existing bearings on my range hood were NMB 626Z made in Thailand. I replaced both bearings with NTN 626ZZ made in Japan, that I purchased on-line from Motion Industries. Besides the new NTN 626ZZ bearings, I also purchased P5 4.8 x 1.9 mm nitrile o-rings (I needed two). The existing snap ring was okay, so it was not replaced. Unlike the Miele range hood in the video, the DA2698 has plenty of room on the sides. I did not have to drop the blower housing. I took the fans off, followed by taking the motor side housing off (on the right side). The only difficulty was un-screwing the two long aluminum screws that hold the motor side housing in place. It was then straightforward to take off the o-rings and replace the bearings. Total elapsed time was under 40 minutes.

Cost of repair this issue ? Thank
