TROUBLESHOOTING
Problem
The fan
seems
louder than it
should.
The fan is not
clearing the
room.
14
Shut power off at service panel before servicing.
Possible Cause
The CFM is too great.
The damper is damaged or not working
properly.
The bend in the duct is too close to the
fan exhaust flange.
The fan exhaust flow is reduced to fit a
smaller duct.
The fan body is not attached securely.
There is insufficient airflow intake in the
room.
There is insufficient CFM.
Solution
Be sure the CFM rating on the fan
matches the square footage of your room.
Check the damper to ensure it is opening
and closing properly. If the damper has
become damaged, please call Customer
Service.
Be sure you do not have any sharp
bends in the duct closer than 18 in. to
the fan .
Use the recommended size ducting to
reduce fan noise.
Be sure the fan is securely attached to
the ceiling joists.
Be sure a door or window is slightly ajar
or opened to allow airflow. The fan is not
able to draw air out of the room without
enough airflow to draw from.
Be sure the CFM rating on the fan
matches the requirements for your room
size.
NOTICE
Using a tissue is not the
correct method for determining if the fan
is operating properly. If the fan clears
steam from the room within approximately
15 minutes of completing your shower,
then the fan is operating properly.
