The shaft measures 1 3/4" in length. The assembly can be done anywhere. If necessary, a hacksaw can be used to cut the shaft shorter. It has a groove cut into it so that it can be cut to the proper length if necessary.
The diameter of the fan blades is slightly less than four inches. 6 inches (approximately 4 inches) or 19/32 inch
China, when comparing the original motor to this one, they appeared to be identical. Perhaps the new one's frame was a little beefier, but the quality appeared to be good. to me .
The motor must be connected to the Nutrone Miami Carey exhaust fan's old frame bracket. What is the dead center to dead center distance between the two bolts with the nut on each of them? Then we'll be able to tell if the new motor will fit on the old bracket; yes, the old bracket is required. Please let me know as soon as possible. Thank you and best wishes.

We recently completed a full home remodel, and the guest bathroom exhaust fan was one of the few items that we did not replace. It had the desired effect. At the very least, it worked until we completed the five-month renovation. So I asked my general contractor to replace the old Nutone exhaust fan with a new one that looked exactly like it. He stated that they were no longer manufactured and that we would have to switch to a different model, which would cost a couple hundred dollars including labor. br>br>I had an electrician who had completed all of the electrical work for me. As a result, I asked if he could just get the motor for me. He claimed that the time and effort were not worth it. It had been a long time. and I should just go with the general's suggestion for a replacement. So I went to Amazon for about 5 minutes. This motor was discovered. On a Friday afternoon, I placed an order for it. On the same weekend, they were installed. It is a Sunday afternoon. br>br>It works perfectly. could easily be modified to appeal to a wide range of fans It has a lot of air movement. It's also calm. And. if it can be installed by a 72-year-old fart It is possible for anyone. I've made a few hundred dollars in savings.
The bathroom exhaust fans were already noisy and slow when we bought this house, but we tried to extend their lives by lubricating them, etc. Eventually, the one in the master bath stopped working and would just groan, turning once every 10-minutes or so. Timer: 30 seconds I put off fixing it because I assumed I'd have to replace the entire fan/light/heater unit, and there weren't many available that fit the existing opening, and I didn't want to deal with the cutting/drywall/floating/painting/wiring/attic-cleaning that would entail. To install a new one, you must climb. br>br>Finally, I bit the bullet and declared, "That's it, I'm going to fix this damn thing one way or another. " I began at the bottom, in our bathroom, to see what I could learn about the unit without having to go to the attic (this fan is located up under the low part of the roof, and getting to it in the attic would be a major pain). br>br>I was able to figure out that there was a retaining screw under the light cover where I could remove the bulb. After unplugging the light fixture's easily unpluggable connector, I was able to remove the entire interior cover of the unit by moving the retaining screw. br>br>That revealed the heater unit on one side (which was fine) and the exhaust fan on the other (which had an axle extending up into a metal box where the circular blades were, and the blades were a wider diameter than the opening, so I figured I'd have to get into the attic anyway). But then I noticed that the entire exhaust fan box could be removed by unscrewing one retaining screw and sliding it to the side, releasing it from the catches. br>br>Once I removed the exhaust fan box, the rest was simple: I disconnected the motor and looked for something with similar specs. I came across this one, which appeared to be a perfect match to my eyes. It was, thankfully. When I received this replacement, I reassembled everything, turned it on, and YAHOO, our master bathroom exhaust fan is now operational. br>br>In retrospect, this was a fairly straightforward replacement, and I expect I'll be able to replace the fans in the other two identical units in about five minutes. Each takes 10 minutes and requires the use of a short stepladder from the interior. br>br>Two photos are attached. The first shows a piece of bathroom tissue held in place by the suction of a recently replaced exhaust fan (the tissue fell when I turned off the fan, fyi). A side-by-side comparison is shown in the second image. The old and new fan motor units are compared side by side. br>br>This replacement motor is cheap, and I'm not sure how long it'll last, but it appears to be made nearly identically to the original fan, which lasted 24 years. Time will tell, and if I have any concerns about its long-term viability, I'll update this review.
I gave it five stars because it was exactly as described, but I would advise you to look at the photo carefully. The right side of the motor is connected to the fan housing by nuts. The motor shaft is on the left side, as you can see. These bolts must be reversed if your motor is located below the fan, as mine is. I also needed to replace the bolts with longer ones (3" 6-inch). I had to cut down 32 bolts to make them fit. None of this is the seller's or the manufacturer's fault; it's just not the same as my original. Once I got over these minor stumbling blocks, the motor was a fantastic replacement!.
It's simple to install, but you'll need to replace the entire exhaust fan if you want it to be quieter. br>On its own, the motor is extremely quiet; you'd never know it's on. The impeller is noisy due to its design. br>I used a db meter to test my fan, and the results were nearly identical before and after (new to old). A squirrel cage style unit is recommended for those looking for a quieter fan.
I can't say I'm complaining because I replaced a bathroom fan that had to be decades old with little difficulty, but the bracket that held my old fan to the housing didn't fit this. My answer is: I made a bracket out of 3D printed parts and was able to secure everything. br>br>I'm not docking any points to the motor because this was primarily a hardware issue. The motor is fine; I have mine with the fan facing upward and the blades facing toward the motor, and it pulls air just fine; it isn't particularly loud, but, as I mentioned, it was replacing a much larger fan that had to be decades old, so your mileage may vary if you're replacing something much newer.
This fan was purchased to replace an old motor with a faulty bearing. It was easy to set up. The housing on this fan, however, was a little too big to fit properly in the old mounting ring. The motor's field windings were encased in a too-large plastic housing. On each side of the housing, there is an "extra" slot where the supply wires enter. I used a hacksaw to cut away the plastic around these slots, allowing the motor to fit properly into the old mounting ring. It took an extra 5 minutes, so it wasn't a huge deal. br>br>I wasn't sure if the fan blades should be facing the motor or away from it, and Amazon's question/answer section had answers that supported both positions. When the fan blades were facing the motor, however, the fan drew air into the bathroom through the vent. The direction of the blades may vary depending on the individual application, so check the air flow after you install the fan. I took the motor out again, reversed the blades so they pointed AWAY from the motor, and now the fan pulled air OUT of the bathroom, which is correct. If the blades are not in the proper position, they must be reversed.
