Troubleshooting
Problem
Possible Cause
Solution
The fan seems louder than it
should be.
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 within 18 in. of 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 humidity
from the room.
There is insufficient airflow intake in the room.
Be sure a door or window is slightly ajar or
open to allow airflow. The fan is not able to
draw air out of the room without enough
airflow.
There is insufficient CFM.
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.
Be sure the CFM rating on the fan matches the
square footage of your room.
The fan keeps running even though
the humidity level is lower than
60% RH.
NOTE:
The humidity
sensor tolerance is +/-
10% RH.
Outdoor humidity is back drafting into the fan.
Continue to let the fan run since it is good to keep
venting the house and the electric cost is minimal
(estimated at less than $10 per year).
If the light on the grille is red, the fan is in full
speed mode and not humidity sensing mode.
When in full speed mode, the fan will not shut off
automatically.
Turn the fan off when not in use.
