FAQ

This assembly is specifically designed for Broan and NuTone housings measuring 8" x 8-1/4" x 5-3/4". Before purchasing, measure the interior of your metal fan housing to ensure these dimensions match. If your housing dimensions differ, this motor will not fit.
This unit is compatible with a wide range of Broan and NuTone series, including but not limited to: 678-G, 679-E, 679L, 763, 763N, 763NC, 679FL-C, FL2679F-A, 679FLT, 50NT, ED50L-D, HD50RDF, HD50RDB, HD50L-D, HD50LNT, DX50L, DX70L, and HD80L.
This motor assembly serves as a replacement for S97015162. It also cross-references with part numbers 99080520, 97015159, 97-01-5159, and S97015159.
You likely need a new motor if your fan is making loud grinding or rattling noises, if the motor hums but the fan blade does not spin, or if the fan has stopped moving air entirely. Before replacing, ensure the fan blade is free of heavy dust buildup and that the electrical connections are secure.
Installation is generally straightforward and can usually be completed in 15–30 minutes. You will typically need a flathead screwdriver to release the motor plate clips and a pair of pliers or a nut driver to disconnect the wiring. Always turn off the power at the circuit breaker before beginning any work on the fan unit.
The most common causes of failure are bearing wear due to long-term use and the accumulation of bathroom humidity and dust. Over time, dust buildup creates friction and restricts airflow, which forces the motor to work harder and eventually leads to overheating or mechanical failure.
