take your motor to a Electrical/Plumbing supply place, (not Lowes/HomeDepot)....
they will either have an exact replacement, or universal one, and will have answers to better units, if available, that will fit your box.... biggest killer to these is the bearing from non lubrication and dust....most times you can clean them out and oil, and your good to go..... sometimes you can bend the blades for more air flow....a lot of times they use plastic for noise control... |

The parts are easily obtained from the Broan Nutone Parts Store website online. Both items are available. |

I have an surplus replacement motor kit from a Broan/Nutone vent fan. Take a look at the photos and see if it resembles what you have.
I couldn't find your exact model # in the Broan-NuTone catalog, there were 741 models but they had different suffix's. I would Google any model/part numbers on the motor etc to see if you find a cross. Most of these motors are pretty similar so close may be close enough. As far as upgrading the motor, maybe but you probably won't do much better then what was in there initially. Changing to a squirrel cage blower would really mean replacing the entire unit with something else. |

went Lowes and got a replacement motor, but the shaft was a tad too long and hit the top of the case...Dremel to the rescue! cut off 1/4 inch and shoved the blades back on there...works like a charm. I just wish it had more power to it. When I lived with my parents I bought a fan for a much larger bathroom than we had...it would pull the door open if it wasn't latched properly! That's what I want here. I like hot showers but don't like to be hot when I get out of the shower. |
