Cleaning and Maintenance
To Clean
For quiet and efficient operation, long life and attractive
appearance, remove grille and vacuum interior of unit with a
dusting brush attachment.
The motor is permanently lubricated and never needs oiling. If
the motor bearings are making excessive or unusual noises,
replace the motor.
Troubleshooting
Symptom: The fan does not run.
• Check for an open fuse or circuit breaker in the building’s
service panel.
• Check that the plug-in connection for the motor is seated
firmly in place.
• Check that the blower wheel spins freely.
Symptom: The fan runs erratically.
• Check that the blower wheel is firmly attached to the motor
shaft and both spin freely.
Symptom: The fan seems noisy.
• Check that the back draft damper in the fan’s duct connector
pivots freely. Screws used to attach the ducting to the duct
connector may be preventing the damper from opening.
• Check that the back draft damper in the wall or roof cap pivots
freely. These dampers are sometimes mistakenly painted shut
or obstructed by bird and insect debris.
