How To Disassemble A Nutone Bathroom Fan

Nutone bathroom fans are designed to provide ventilation and remove moisture from bathrooms. They typically consist of a motor, fan blades, and a housing. To disassemble a Nutone bathroom fan, you will need the following tools:

Screwdriver
Pliers
Wire cutters
Safety glasses

Once you have gathered your tools, follow these steps:

Turn Off the Power:
Before you begin, turn off the power to the bathroom fan at the circuit breaker. This will prevent you from being shocked while you work.

Remove the Cover:
The cover of the bathroom fan is typically held in place by screws. Use a screwdriver to remove the screws and take off the cover.

Disconnect the Wiring:
Once the cover is removed, you will see the wiring for the bathroom fan. Use wire cutters to cut the wires, leaving about 6 inches of wire.

Remove the Motor:
The motor is usually held in place by screws or bolts. Use a screwdriver or wrench to remove the screws or bolts and take out the motor.

Clean the Fan Blades:
The fan blades can be cleaned with a damp cloth. If the fan blades are heavily soiled, you can remove them from the motor and soak them in a mild detergent solution. Once the fan blades are clean, dry them thoroughly before reinstalling them.

Reassemble the Bathroom Fan:
To reassemble the bathroom fan, simply reverse the steps you took to disassemble it. First, install the motor, then connect the wiring, and finally, replace the cover.
