Who knew those things could be fixed so easily. About a month ago, we had an Electrician install a new Panasonic fan in the bathroom. The fan, similar to yours, was not big enough for the bathroom size.

You mounted the new fan motor incorrectly to the base plate. There is a small square indentation, opposite of where you mounted yours, that the back end of the motor assembly rests in. You can go back and look to see where the original was mounted. Good video though! The part of swapping the 2 incorrectly assembled motors helped me before putting the unit back up.

Thank you very much! You helped me to replace my old fan ❤ I've never done something like that before

Just replaced mine with your help! Thanks for the link to the replacement part and the tips. I would have thought I purchased the wrong part had you not mentioned the thing came assembled backwards from the factory. Thanks!!!

Bro, this was perfect! Fixed up my bathroom fan in 10 minutes! I was putting this off forever. qQuick trip to lowes to buy the replacement fan and done! Thanks for the great video

Thanks! Saved me having a contractor come out. The hardest part for me was getting the fan plate out. Somebody bend the bottoms of the housing it slides into for some reason so i had to use pliers to pry it back.

Thanks for the Great tutorial. Mine has been out for 4 years. Now my wife won’t complain of my blowing up the bathroom lol.

I could hug this video forever, FTH! So glad I found your channel. Subbed.

You’re instructions were very clear. I was able to go to Home Depot and by a new motor/fan assembly. Works great! Thanks!

Really appreciate this video. Replaced the motor to the one of the fans in my parents house that was built in 1989.

Well I did it. I replaced my old 696N R02 motor with an new 696 AN A unit or 696N B unit bathroom motor. Same 50 CFR and 4.0 SONES. Thank u for the video.

Great video. I just changed mine following your video. Current price on the part at amazon is 32.03 after tax 01.07.24 for those wondering. The motor was also reversed on mine but its easy flip around like you did. The original motor died after 12 years. Hopefully the new one will last as long if not more. Thank you. Thank you!!

First YouTube video that really helped me. Thank you!!!!

Thank you for sharing everything you demonstrated worked for me👍✌️

[brettmullins]

Videos are helpful. I always learn something

[dawnnhannover]

THANK YOU!! I followed your instructions and installed my new fan-I got from Amazon too and the assembly was also backwards! The only thing missing is, after plugging it in, TURN ON THE SWITCH on the bathroom wall! 😂😅 I thought I had a power issue, as it didn’t turn on after plugging in. 🤦🏼‍♀️

[miltoncordonero]

Thank you for the video and help me a lot 👍🙏

[CMooreStarts]

I am going to have to change out mine in the near future.

Perfect video. I also ordered that universal motor from Amazon. The only thing I would add is that the long screw size uses a 6 mm hex socket and the bolt uses an 8 mm hex socket.

A job well done. I bought a nutone 696N -RO3 and the company nutone put a 696AN A unit or 696N B unit. The frame is bigger than my original nutone. So u think I can replace that motor with my old one ? Will it still work ?
