TROUBLESHOOTING
PROBLEM
POSSIBLE CAUSE
CORRECTIVE ACTION
The fan seems louder
than it should.
CFM too great
Be sure the CFM rating on the fan matches
the size of your room.
The damper is damaged or not working
properly.
Check 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 recommended size ducting to reduce fan
noise.
The fan body is not attached securely.
Be sure the fan is securely attached to your
ceiling joists.
The fan is not
clearing the 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 of the fan matches
the square footage of your room
.
