Customer Questions and Answers for Motor (Fan) by Broan

This replacement motor powers the fan/blower in your ventilation unit to move air efficiently. Use it to restore airflow when the original motor becomes noisy, slow to start, or stops running altogether.

• Spins the blower/fan wheel to pull air through the unit and out through ducting or filters
• Maintains proper ventilation performance and airflow
• Common symptoms: fan won't start or only hums; runs slowly or stalls; excessive noise or vibration; intermittent shut-off/overheating
• Suitable replacement when the existing motor windings, bearings, or thermal protector have failed

• Disconnect power at the breaker before servicing; allow components to cool
• Access the motor by removing the grille/filters and blower housing as applicable
• Transfer the blower wheel and any reusable brackets/wiring from the old motor; align the shaft flat and secure the set screw
• Spin the wheel by hand to confirm free movement; test run before final reassembly
