Yes, the Broan PM400SS range hood utilizes a squirrel cage–style blower. This is confirmed by the replacement part listing for the blower assembly (part number S97021510), which includes the motor, blower wheel, and scroll housing . The design of this assembly is characteristic of a centrifugal (squirrel cage) fan, commonly used in range hoods for efficient air movement.
This blower design offers quiet operation and effective ventilation, making it suitable for kitchen environments.
