TROUBLESHOOTING

PROBLEM
The fan seems louder
than it should.
The fan is not
clearing the humidity
from the room.
POSSIBLE CAUSE
CFM too great
The damper is damaged or not working
properly.
The bend in the duct is too close to the fan
discharge.
The fan discharge 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.
NOTE: 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.

CORRECTIVE ACTION
Be sure the CFM rating on the fan matches
the size of your room.
Check 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 within 18 in. of the fan discharge.
Use recommended size ducting to reduce fan
noise.
Be sure the fan is securely attached to your
ceiling joists.
Be sure a door or window is slightly ajar or
open to allow airflow. The fan is not able to
draw air out of the room without enough
airflow.
Be sure the CFM rating of the fan matches
the square footage of your room.
