Endurance Pro 97012248 Range Hood Fan Motor Replacement for Broan Nautilus BP17, 99080492, S97012248

Since I installed it in December, this fan has been performing admirably. This was about half the price of a Kenmore fan, and it claimed to fit my machine. it did. I only had to unscrew three screws, unplug the old one, and plug this one in. It's a tad quicker. more obnoxious than the previous one I had to tuck one of the blades in just a smidgeon to keep it from slamming into the screen cover, but that's not a problem for me. It is passed over by the screen without being hit. To me, it's well worth the money saved. It's something I'd buy again if the opportunity arose. Update: 6/6/20 br>br>6/6/20 br>6/6/20 br>6/6/20 br>6/6 For about 5 months, the first one I received worked perfectly. So it still gets three stars for the five months I was able to use it. It was simple to put together and suited my needs perfectly. It had to be replaced. The second one lasted 10 minutes and only had one speed, as opposed to two in the first. It was also very hot when I touched it. I would have been fine if the second one lasted at least as long as the first, but 10 minutes on the second, no thanks, I'll try another brand, and I'm asking for a refund.

br>br>Of course, the brackets didn't fit perfectly, but they were "very close. " After that, I made it to the range. with a drift-style hood screw clip All I need is a punch and a hammer to spread it out a few hairs wider. and then. "Anything is possible. " Now I soldered the older Molex terminal jack to fit the original inside the hood, which has the same three wires but a different mount. Put the fan unit together. br>br>First, I tested the fan's safety by manually turning it with my fingers. One bracket is lightly rubbing, but it can be turned. Now turn the power on (I hear it rubbing) and sand the rubbing side of the bracket with a sandpaper. It has a quieter tone than the original. It appears to be working.

I like this fan a lot, but I had to change the direction of the blades. My old Nutone vent hood had a fan that looked nearly identical to this one, with the motor mounted below the fan blade. This fan, however, is wired to be mounted with the fan on the bottom and the motor on the top right out of the box. The fan in my installation was turned upside down and was blowing rather than sucking. br>br>To reverse the direction, unscrew the two screws on the motor's end, pull off the bearing cover, and then flip the magnet over (as shown in the photo). The motor will spin in the opposite direction after you reassemble everything. It took about five minutes for me to complete this task. You can find the how-to video I used to make this happen by searching for Yb_k6gxNej0 on YouTube. It's fantastic! br>br> To test how the smoke draws, light a match and blow it out. My old fan, which rumbled so loudly that it vibrated the walls, had to be replaced.

Before installing the fan in the range hood, I had to heat the blades and make sure it was true. It was also a challenge to get it into the hood. But I made it in, gave myself a pat on the back for all my efforts, and drank a beer. It's been running for a few weeks now and is beginning to emit a faint whine when operated at low speed. That, to me, indicates that the bearing is beginning to fail. I'm not looking forward to going through the same process with a replacement after all the effort it took to get it trued and mounted. I should have paid the extra $20 for a genuine replacement. Don't make the same mistake that I did and purchase this. Spend the extra money on one that will fit and function properly.

This is the second motor I ordered after returning the first; this one is 10 times worse; the blade wobbles as if the plastic on the blade is warped or something; it's a ridiculous waste of time. br>Didn't have time to return the second one, so I discovered that if you warm up the plastic on the blade in the middle, it will soften and you can bend it straight; it's a pain, but it works.

Pros:
1. It fits. The bracket's holes match the holes in my hood perfectly. The plug is a perfect match and easily fits into the socket. br>br>Contrary to popular belief, there are a number of disadvantages to using this product.
1. The blade of the plastic fan is horribly out of alignment: One side is high, while the other is low. There is a great deal of vibration as a result of this.
2. The most important one is this: THE AIR IS BLOWN IN THE WRONG DIRECTION BY IT. It suckers cold air from my roof and blows it, at high or low speed, onto my stove.

To make it fit, I had to flip the mounting bracket over and spread them out a little. Because the original mount had three mounting legs and this one only had two, I had to use self-adhesive tape to secure it. Screws are tapped. There's no need to be concerned. br>The fan was spinning in the wrong direction, but this was easily fixed by turning the armature around. The wires are white-neutral and black-neutral, respectively. red and high - low. The original fan only had two wires and operated at a low speed. I reduced the speed by eliminating the use of an inline inductor (similar to a transformer). The original pushbuttons were kept, but new wires were installed. Since the original had a screw right in the middle of the bottom of the motor to mount it, I'll need to get some plumber's strap to mount a center screw for the screen cover. There's no need to be concerned. Once it's hidden, it won't be noticed. br>The plastic fan is slightly warped, but this does not appear to be a problem. I considered repurposing some of my old metal fan blades, but decided against it. Even at high speeds, it remains quiet and smooth.

The unit arrived damaged and was unable to be used. When I tested it, the fan blade wasn't properly positioned on the rotating shaft and vibrated. I had to remove the existing fan blade and the motor from the supplied bracket, then use a Dremel tool to modify the shaft so that I could reuse the old fan blade. The motor should then be mounted on the bracket of the failed unit. To connect the new unit to the original speed control switch, I cut off the supplied connector and soldered the original electrical connector to the new unit. It took a few hours to get it right, but it's now up and running. If you have an older "Rangaire" Range Hood, it isn't just a case of "plug and play. ".
