    you are a lifesaver THANK YOU - we moved into this apartment and OMG that bathroom exhaust fan was so loud that I did not enjoy being there. I had all of my products set up, huge mirrors, lots of counters lots of lights, and space but the noise level was not something that I enjoyed listening. I just unplug that damn thing and now we all enjoy time in there ahhahahah . Thank you so much

    My fan switch also controls the lighting. Should I turnoff all power to the house before trying to remove unit?

    With all due respect, this is more accurately a video on how to replace, not how to fix

      The problem is fixed with a new fan. You can take a paint brush, air compressor and vacuum to brush off, blow and vacuum up the dust and grime and see if that works but if it’s the motor it’s going to be easier just to buy a new replacement fan. Getting fan parts can be very difficult to find just like some parts for appliances.
      Mechanics fix vehicles by replacing parts. This guy fixed the fan issue by replacing it. The “fixer” is the “guy” the “replacement ”is the “part”. I’m not sure why you have an issue with that lol. The guy could use both fixed or replaced. It doesn’t matter. I would like to point out that he didn’t “replace” any parts into the original fan itself. He just “fixed” the problem by installing a new fan.
      I think you assumed the video title was something that it wasn’t, for what you were looking for.

      Title isn't "how to fix the noise in your bathroom", it's "how to fix a noisy fan". That implies making an adjustment to the internals of the fan itself whether it's lubricating replacing a part or adjusting something it means operating on the fan itself. To use your car example let's say I wanted to put a video on how to fix a leaky tire. It would not mean dismount it and then mount a brand new tire. In this video, he shows you how to "fix" a noisy fan. I guess the "fix" shown wouldn't apply if you just wanted a different fan that wasn't noisy? I need to go find a video on how to replace my out-of-style fan because of looks. These steps are only for noisy fans.

      @@realSamAndrewit is not possible to “fix” a burnt out motor. if it’s making a bad sound then you have to replace no way around it

    • @realSamAndrew
      @realSamAndrew 8 месяцев назад +5

      @st8ks967 to that I say the following: Nowhere did it say fix a burned out motor. If it's burned out, you wouldn't fix it. It did say fix a NOISY motor. There are many causes for the noise. If it's something that can be adjusted, lubed, or removed or replaced, you CAN fix it.
      And even if there is no way to fix it, then replacing it should be labeled as such.

    My apartment has a 1970s model and I really want to upgrade by replacing it. Wish me luck!
    edit: I tried cleaning all the lint, rust and dust built up… it was not a fun process but it was satisfying once it’s clean. It’s still super old.

    This is great to know. These upgrade kits and the fans themselves seem pretty expensive for what they are. I wonder if there are aftermarket versions?

      You don't pry these, you just pull down. They have springs that hold it in place.
