Frienda Universal Bathroom Vent Fan Motor Replacement Electric Motors Kit Compatible with Nutone Broan 50CFM 120V(3000 RPM 120V)

I needed to replace a bathroom fan in our mobile home. After looking at the old one I was able to match this one with it. After removing the old fan and installing this one I found that the stem of the motor was a bit too long and the ceiling cover would not sit flush with the ceiling. I looked again at the shaft of this motor and found that it was actually scored if you needed to cut it a bit shorter. I cut it with a hack saw right at the score, re-installed it, and everything closed up perfectly. The cover is now flush with the ceiling and it's been working fine since then.

The media could not be loaded. We have an older house and the bathroom fans motor finally seized up. We really and truly didn't want to replace the entire housing - it is the middle of a very hot and humid summer in NC and that attic would not be fun! Nor did we really want to deal with having to adjust the opening in the ceiling. Thus, the search for a replacement motor for a no-name fan commenced!Trusty Amazon was our best option as local hardware stores have become less reliable for a variety of parts. After some searching, we found this fan and motor assembly - it didn't exactly match the specs on ours but was the same where it mattered. Having never made this repair before, we carefully measured everything on our existing (and NASTY) motor and compared it to the specs for this universal replacement. All looked good, so we hit the button Friday to buy it. The replacement part arrived Sunday much to our delight and 10 minutes later we had a working bathroom fan!Installation was simple, although the unit does not have any instructions. In our case, it turned out to be a near exact match of what we had. We gently pounded the fan blade section onto the post (using carpet behind it to prevent damage to the unit), making sure the deeper "cup" in the center faced out. Once that was installed, we turned the unit over, removed the nuts on the bolts, took the old bracket off the old unit, and installed said old bracket on the new motor and fan. It aligned perfectly!From there, it was simple to install the unit in the housing, checking to be sure the blades clear the housing and lined up correctly. Plugged it in, hit the power and voila! The fan spun so pretty and fast, it hasn't worked so well in all the time we have lived here!The noise level is not what you would call quiet, but compared to the old unit it is. We attached a video to give you an idea of the sound level. Time will tell if this holds up as long as the old one, but we have high expectations. Really happy with our purchase!

I purchased (2) of these for replacing my older, worn out vent fans in a modular home as the older ones were rattling, dirty, and incredibly loud. This unit mounted right into the existing vent fan space, no modifications required. The fan is much quieter than my older, worn out vent fans.I have (2) minor complaints on these fans; 1. The fans do not pull nearly as much volume of air (CFM) as the existing fans that were in service here. and 2. The threaded ends for vent cover plates use a smaller thread/fastener size than the off-the-shelf components available. Make sure you keep your old vent cover screws/nuts and check the thread sizing to ensure that you can mount new covers adequately.

Saved me from buying an all new unit

After 30+ years my old fan gave it up. I thought I would need to buy a whole new unit, mount and all…but, no, this motor fit perfectly in my old mount. It’s not silent but neither was my old one (or any of my neighbors) and that’s because the blades will echo a bit in the enclosed vent. So all in all, well worth the money.

This little fan works just great. However it is very loud and much louder than the old one we had to replace.

Needed a replacement fan due to age and condition of the original fan motor. Thought it was a Braun but was never able to verify any ID other than the make of the old motor. No model numbers visible either. In our mounted photo notice the the other two holes for mounting a motor that are spaced further apart. That's what we had with the old motor shown in the other photo. We purchased a Braun motor with that spacing (about 2 7/8"). That motor spun the wrong way. Ours is clock wise (CW) so returned that. Saw this item which included a fan blade that ran CW and thought maybe the mount bracket might fit our smaller bracket holes??? Fan blades are about 3/4" smaller, but at this point we didn't care. Switched out in about 5 minutes and runs quite. Wife is pleased, so I am pleased. Moral, consider your bracket options and motor direction.

Fan blade comes separate from motor.Blade presses on to splined shaft... theoretically.I was able to press it on without breaking, though it now shows stress cracks, so I expect it will not last long.Installed motor in housing (NuTone 8700), and immediately found that the blades are too long and contact the housing while rotating.Additionally it is quite unbalanced and wobbly.No amount of adjustment of the mounting bracket would fix it, so I ended up sanding approximately 1mm off of each fan blade.It now fits and blows air, but is noisy and unlikely to last long.

I had an old bathroom fan that sounded like a B-52 Bomber taking off. I really didn't feel like replacing the old fan as it would have required some demolition and attic work. I took a chance on this fan and it was a game changer. Might be some less expensive ones out there? I'm not sure.
