Will this unit work in a Broan 678-G without a lot of modifying? Also, how do you get the motor out of the housing? Thanks

Hi Louie, I replaced my Nutone Vent fan motor with the universal motor. I removed the motor by taking out the two bolts and the motor came off the housing. I had to keep the spline and impeller in the housing and reuse them. Otherwise I would have had to take the whole unit out of the ceiling. Also unplug the motor and it came right out. Check on the corner of the housing to see what the specs are( volts, amps, etc). Basically unplug it remove two bolts and that's it. I hope that helps you out good luck. Andy

Chip, I had the same problem several times. I finally registered my unit on Broan's website and included my disappointment with the issue. I was contacted the next day by their customer service department with the phone # for their service department. I called them immediately, they pulled up my information and explained that they had identified the problem and it could be easily fixed with a replacement heater and fan element. The original unit did not start fast enough and would burn the thermal fuse, the new motor started faster and therefore the thermal fuse would not blow. The fuse is part of the heater element to prevent overheating. I explained to the rep that it was -7 outside and I didn't feel like going into the attic again to replace the unit. he explained that I could replace the part fromt he inside and it was a matter of 2 screws and a wire harness. It literally took me less than 1 minute to replace the part and it has worked better than the original since. My previous ones only lasted less than 2 weeks. I was very satisfied with Broan which is more than I can say about the big box store I bought it from. The # for the technical support department at 800-637-1453. That should solve the problem.

You should check the official Broan documentation for that answer. Most likely available on their web site.I believe at least the heater may require at 20A circuit.

I have the same model of heater.. Fit like a glove, but requires a few wire modifications that are explained on the instruction sheet. Make sure you Google the procedure for motor removal as it makes everything easier..

It is hidden inside the motor housing. It is a little tight in there, but it will fit.

you have to take the faceplate off the broan fan that's installed and look at it. Look at how the motor fits in the fan and what the tag says (amps, etc.)

I haven't had a chance to actually measure the shaft, but it is about 1-1/4". I know its a perfect fit for Broan fan 679A, so if your fan is listed, I'm sure it will work fine. I'll get back to you when I have a chance to measure it. But it's a whole lot easier to install than a total fan/housing replacement.

Best guess is that unless you are a mechanical wizard the integrated nature of the motor and fan will not allow you to merely replace the current motor with this motor. I found that the motor was customized to the fan and could not be just attached. I ordered an entirely different and fully contained replacement for my nutone fan, though I cannot find on my system where I ordered it now. DJH

You should be able to remove the motor and fan portion of the unit without removing the metal boxthat is connected to the framing. As one of the other answers was to check the electrical to make sure that is not the problem. You will have to make sure you buy the exact model.

Box says 688 not sure about 688-K. Better call Broan to confirm. If it fits this is a great replacement fan and easy to install. Good luck!!!

You would need to find the Nutone/Broan model number for the complete fan, then go to Nutone's website and look up the parts breakdown for the fan if it is available.

Go to http://www.broan.com/replacement-parts and search for the model number. If your model is a 655, there is a heater element listed as available.
