We bought our house new 2 years ago and the bathroom fan is making a sort of low clunky sound. I'm not sure if it is the motor or if something inside the fan housing is loose. We've gotten all the dust out of it and trying to take the motor off but we're not sure where to go from there. Do you have any troubleshooting guide or tips for this?
Thank you!

Answer:
Cleaning was a good thing to do. Also check if some mounting screws may have come loose. It is possible the bearings in the motor are worn. Consult with our technical service @ 1-800-637-1453.

I installed a Broan 164 two-bulb fan unit. The fit is fairly close but the flange on the box is very small and there is still a slight gap, 1/4" or less, between the edge of the flange and the edge of the drywall ceiling. The plastic grill just barely covers the gap, leaving the possibility of dust or insulation slipping through. can I use drywall tape over this gap? other suggestions?

Answer:
A small gap you should be able to easily fill it with joint compound or spakel. It might take a few coats to fill the gap,since you don't want to put it on really thick or it will take a long time to dry. Once the gap is filled, feather the filler out to blend with the surrounding wall. You can use a 10"-12" taping knife for this.

This unit will operate when located where the shortest possible duct run and minimum number of elbows will be needed. This is designed for use with a standard 4" round duct.

how can I stop this from happening? Is it due to one of the two heat sensing devices. Can I bypass one or both of these?
