Mine was a lot dirtier but following these directions, I was able to get it done in about 90 minutes, which included a 20 minute trip to the local hardware store to get the new motor. I’m glad I didn’t have to replace the entire unit.
Thank you. I could not find a video for this style Broan bath fan and did not see the clip to released the bracket from the housing (Needle nose). This video was a great help to this infrequent DIY not so handyman.
Thank you very much! I highly appreciate the very precise step-by-step instructions. As a single mom of three boys. I will have their bathroom exhaust fan working in no time! 🥰
Wish I would have watched this video first! After I gave up, I found this video and went at it again. This time I was victorious! I thought the 10mm difference in shaft length was a death sentence and started looking for other motors, but a simple needle nose pliers saved the day. Thanks!
Thank you. I bought a new exhaust fan/light and just pried out the old motor housing and slipped the new one in. Replaced the old plastic trim with the new trim and it looks like a brand-new fan. Super easy. Most importantly my wife was impressed. (Well, she said she was at least.)
Hi! Can you tell me any info regarding the stud and nut please? The length and diameter? I believe it’s a hex head? had work done and the workers lost those two pieces that attach the reflector to housing above. Broan wants $20 bucks for the stud! This video has been helpful because we can see everything you are doing and you also say what you are doing. Thank you.
If the fan is connected to the light and I turn off the light power source, is it OK to continue to replace the fan at that point, or do I have to go outside and turn off the breaker?
May I ask the tool size used to remove the nuts fastening the motor to the mounting bracket/frame? Orange-handled that looks like a screwdriver…but has a cap/enclosure on the tip to remove nuts. Thank you in advance.

This. This is the video we've been looking for. Thank you for the clear disassembly instructions!
Saved me hours of trying to take the whole housing out. You good sir, are a life saver

Awesome tutorial. Helped my figure out how to replace the fan only without removing the entire assembly from the rafters. A+
Thank you soooooooo much. You took the mystery out of repairing the fan and motor! I hate going into my nasty attic and replace the entire unit !
You sir, are a freaking legend! Thanks for all your help!
Thank you so much for this video, it helped me to replace 3 fans, one on a ceiling and two on walls!
Glad it helped!

Glad you were able to make the repair!
thank you! that was easier than I expected
Woot woot! Thank you! Currently need to replace our motor, thanks for the video!
I'm going to try this later this afternoon. Thank you.
Greatly appreciated, thank you for this.
Great how to video. Unfortunately our old housing had the outlets configured differently than the near version, so we were unable to do this.

Question: can you test the motor by plugging it into a wall socket before installing?
Yes you can. It's a standard 110Volt AC fan. Just be careful of the spinning fan blade/wheel. Can do the same with the lighting fixture as an FYI.
I followed this video but was unable to remove the motor mounting plate from the housing with needle-nose pliers (@ 2:00 minutes).
thanks for the helpful and clear video

where can we buy the lens with the rounded corners. Everywhere we look is square. We ordered one we hope will work.
I almost replaced the whole thing. Thanks!
Hi, Mine model is 678-B/678F-B it similar. It does not have tabs in the side and I don’t know how to remove the motor. Please help. Thanks
Thanks so much!
Good stuff! Your video helped me a lot. Thank you so much!
Where do you get replacement motors?
Saw them I think at Lowes. Broan Nutone BP27. Seems to fit a bunch of Broan fans.
Thanks dude
The light doesn't work either wouldn't it still work two different plugs
Thank You!
