Removing a bathroom exhaust fan assembly from a Nutone housing typically involves releasing it from the housing and lifting it out. The process is usually quite simple.
Steps to Remove a Nutone Bathroom Exhaust Fan Assembly:
- Release from Housing: Most Nutone fan assemblies are held in place by spring clips, pressure fittings or a similar mechanism that allows them to be released from the main housing. Look for these clips or areas of pressure around the edge of the fan assembly where it meets the housing. You may need to squeeze or push the clips to release them.
- Lift Out: Once released, the fan assembly should be easily lifted out of the housing.
Important Considerations:
- Safety First: Before beginning any work, turn off the power to the bathroom circuit at the breaker box to avoid electrical shock.
- Specific Models: While many Nutone fans follow this general procedure, specific models might have slight variations. Consulting the model's manual is always recommended if available. If you don't have the manual, searching online using the model number can often provide helpful diagrams or instructions.
