Bathroom exhaust supporter? Can I fix a broken motor? my kid likes to take really long showers next to the window...
my kid likes to take really long showers next to the window closed and fan rotten, so the other day I asked him to run the fan, and it ran--you guessed it--all morning before we realized it be still on. Today when I went in to turn it on, it be dead. I think the motor burned out. Is this something I can fix myself, or do I want a professional? (or is it even the motor? Could it hopefully? Just be a glitch or something??) Help??
the together thing come out it's one contain unit, it's hugely easy to replace it, home depot or other home improvement store will hold it, and not that expensive If you really want to get it fixed. Bring the motor to a shop for it to be rewinded. Buying a new is a much better odds.
1)Turn off power to the supporter.
2)The cover should pull straight down and have two springs that you'll obligation to squeeze to remove it.
3)Remove the plate inside that holds the motor, there should be one or two screws that hold it within place. The motor should have a small cord that plugs into a socket, just unplug this to remove it.
4)See if you find any information on the follower, as to who made it, and what model it is.
Get a new fan of indistinguishable model.
The new motor, and plate should fit right in, and you'll singular have to "plug it in" .
5) Use the new cover, and discard the housing.
A tentative replacement motor will cost as much or more than a new fan.
Answers: I work at Home Depot, and sold a replacement fan yesterday. Easy fix. BE SURE TO TURN IT OFF FIRST!
It is best to go buy a whole latest exhaust fan. They are fairly inexpensive and comfortable to install.
