Nahh, this is not connected to the hood. Its a separate duct going from the kitchen ceiling out to the side of the house, like you see. It might have some grease in it but I doubt it has too much since the OG owner of the house was not a cook type, AND its not over the stove.If you replace the motor, might want to see if the HVAC company will do a proper cleaning of the duct itself, but you may have to get a hood cleaning company. That's an important part of maintaining a hood system. If it's old it's probably got a massive buildup of grease, and might as well spend the extra money to keep you from having an issue further down the road.
