Dear Dale:
My exhaust fan has a plug in arrangement. In the past, when installing one
of these, I wondered then why there was a plug. It makes sense now that I must
replace the motor.
Yours Truly,
Clifford Wilson

Dear Cliff,
Just out of curiosity, does the motor plug into the enclosure or is it hard
wired?

Dear Dale:
I have removed the grill and found a couple of bolts that I suspect will set
the motor free. I have already discovered the collection of dirt, grease etc.
Thanks for the tip, as changing the motor should be much easier than changing
the entire system.
Yours Truly,
Clifford Wilson

Clifford,
Have you removed the grill and had a look inside?
Many of the newer ones you pull sharply down on the grill which is held up
there on sprung wire clips. It will drop a couple of inches then you can press
the clips legs together to get them free. Others have a decorative knob in the
middle which you can screw out to remove the grill. The motor is on a short
wire and standard sort of plug which plugs into a standard sort of socket in
the box of the fan assembly. You can then remove a couple of bolts which hold
the motor to the box housing. The impeller fan blade comes along with the
motor. You should be able to identify the part from that and with luck, order a
replacement.
Those things get remarkably filthy so be prepared. It may be just all fuzzed up
with lint and junk, it may have over heated and burned up the coil.
Hope this helps and is useful.

Dear List Members:
My master bath exhaust fan suddenly quit working. I have checked the switch, so
it is time to either fix or replace the fan. Since the housing is in a tight
place, and the connections to the flexible pipe which connects to the outside
of our home,make replacement difficult, I am interested in finding a new
electric motor for the fan we have. Have any of you had good luck trying to
repair one of these exhaust fans?
Yours Truly,
Clifford Wilson
