Troubleshooting
Problem
Possible Cause
Solution
The fan seems louder than it should.
The CFM is too great.
Be sure the CFM rating on the fan matches the
square footage of your room.
The damper is damaged or not working
properly.
Check the damper to ensure it is opening and
closing properly. If the damper has become
damaged, please call Customer Service.
The bend in the duct is too close to the fan
discharge.
Be sure you do not have any sharp bends
in the duct closer than 18 in. to the fan
discharge.
The fan discharge is reduced to fit a smaller
duct.
Use the recommended size ducting to reduce
fan noise.
The fan body is not attached securely.
Be sure the fan is securely attached to the
ceiling joists.
The fan is not clearing steam from the
room.
There is insufficient airflow intake in the room. Be sure a door or window is slightly ajar or
opened to allow airflow. The fan is not able
to draw air out of the room without enough
airflow to draw from.
There is insufficient CFM.
Be sure the CFM rating on the fan matches the
requirements for your room size.
NOTE:
Using a tissue is not the
correct method for determining if
the fan is operating properly. If the
fan clears steam from the room
within approximately 15 minutes of
completing your shower, then the fan
is operating properly.
The fan does not work.
The wires are not connected properly.
Be sure the wiring is connected in accordance
with the wiring instructions in the manual.
