Broan Bath Fan Parts

Broan Bath Fan Motors and Blower Wheels

Broan bath fans are the industry standard for residential exhaust — but like any motor-driven appliance, they wear out. The motor is the #1 failure point, followed by the blower wheel. A noisy fan, weak airflow, or a fan that won't run at all points directly to these two parts. The good news: replacing a Broan motor is one of the simplest fan repairs, and OEM parts ensure your fan runs as quietly as it should.

Grille replacements are another high-volume repair — whether your cover yellowed over time or cracked from handling, swapping it out is quick and inexpensive. Light kits and ballasts round out common Broan repairs for older fluorescent models.

• Weak airflow: Clogged ductwork or failing blower wheel

Common Broan Bath Fan Questions

What's the difference between a Broan and NuTone bath fan?

Broan and NuTone are the same company — Broan-NuTone LLC. Broan is the contractor/builder brand, NuTone is the residential brand. Most parts are interchangeable between the two; however, always verify your exact model number when ordering, as some motor housings and ductwork fittings differ slightly between product lines.

Why is my Broan bath fan so noisy?

A noisy Broan fan is almost always the motor bearing wearing out, or the blower wheel hitting the housing because of a bent blade or debris. Start by cleaning the blower wheel (accessible from the attic or through the grille). If noise persists after cleaning, the motor bearings have worn and the motor needs replacement. A new OEM Broan motor will restore the quiet operation the fan was designed for.

How do I find my Broan bath fan model number?

The model number is stamped on the motor housing itself, usually on a metal plate attached to the side. If your fan is in the attic, look for a sticker on the underside of the motor. Model numbers typically start with "659," "671," "688," or similar. Enter this number into Repair Clinic's model lookup to see all available parts for your specific Broan model — motors, wheels, housings, and grilles are all matched to the right configuration.

Can I replace a Broan bath fan motor myself?

Yes. Most Broan motors are held in with a few bolts or clips and come out easily once you access the attic or ceiling space. Disconnect the old motor, unbolt it from the housing, and bolt the new OEM motor in its place. The whole job typically takes 15 to 30 minutes. Make sure to match the motor model and blade diameter when ordering — those numbers are on your old motor's nameplate.

Broan Bath Fan Model Number: Where to Look

This model number identifies the entire Broan bath fan configuration, so it helps match motors, blower wheels, grilles, housings, switches, and other associated parts.
