I bought this to replace an older Broan fan. It fit in the space that the older one did, the shape isn't the exact same but it fit. I found that the internal part placement is different though. The output fit right where I needed it to, but the electric wires were placed on the opposite side. This caused a problem for me, the romex wire needed to be extended to fit since the builders ran it directly to the fan and left no slack to work with. If I had to order again, I would just get the replacement parts and try to work them into the old metal frame instead of an entire new fan. The fan is also very loud. The older model was loud but I can hear this thing running a floor above. If you are looking at cost and noise doesn't bother you it will be fine.

It was purchased to retrofit an old fan. Try youtube. You might surprised. Tim

Check your Broan Nutone Exhaust Fan Model number. It should be something like 8832N (that is mine) The motor which is a replacement for this model has a part number of 23405SER which has its motor number of JA2C0208-1. Your number of JA2C553N is a motor number. Who knows what that fits. Start with the Broan Nutone Exh Fan Model, then fine the motor part number, and finally you will see the motor number. Wish this could be simple.

Yes, I replace the old model 763 RL fan and light with the new 763RL model. It works nice. Process was easy too.

yes on both question..we believe...it's been a while since my husband installed the fan. We are very happy with it. Also, Broan is wonderful about answering questions.

I would only use the same part number in replacing your fan. I have no idea about other fans or their part numbers.

In theory yes but the front grill and fan separate from the disk cage and have spring loaded surface contacts to power the fan. A new fan would therefore be wired separately and probably need to be thin/low profile to fit.

I'm sorry but I'm really not sure. It's been awhile since the fan was installed. Your best bet is to check with the manufacturer.

The part that usually fails on these fans, albeit after about 10 yrs or more, is the bearing. My guess is that the bearing configuration is designed for vertical operation, in which case horizontal installation would affect the life of the unit. I would check first with the manufacturer or reseller, before giving up, if there isn't a practical vertical solution.

NuTone's website indictes 2.0 sones. You could also check there to see if you can compare the dimensions. I didn't use it to replace another fan so don't know. Good luck

I am not sure but if it will open here is a link for your model, Broan S97012038 Ventilation Fan Motor and Blower W but other wise not sure due to different fan blade and shaft length.

It could be, when I purchased it I was replacing a Sears fan and after much searching it looked so much like the one I had I went out on a limb and bought it because, no one had a replacement. I hope it is just as successful as I was.not even Sears. I am very satisfied, it just took a bit of reading and trying before I got it right.

It replaces a larger older model but is actually smaller. What I remember when I installed was that the mounting holes were different and the fan installation hole was smaller but about same diameter fan measured from blade. Make sure to order both the motor and fan blade that they suggest. I installed on a 2002 19 foot Nomad travel trailer bathroom fan. Works fine may need the modification to the mounting brackets (new holes).

broan fan 655 is one and the same......usually at factory's if the engineers decide to morph the fan they put a change letter behind or change the original number completely. ((broan 655 parts will fit 80 years from now! this is the selling feature for large apartment buildings who like to limit repair stock))here is an example: lets take for instance the air king 65.... ak65 now obsolete it is now called ak65l or updated bulb feature equals the ak965.

if your old one looks like it,and,most importantly has the four little switches in the battery compartment,you should be ok.But,too make sure,call the people that i bought it from. They're in Texas,Ceiling fan parts superstore....they're GREAT people ! Hope that this helped you!

I can say that it is compatible because it fit my bathroom fan, I'm not sure it's exactly because my fan was installed in 1993, I replaced the motor 12 years later, the replacement only lasted 3 years, and have replaced it about every 3 Years since. It easier for me to replace compared to refitting a new fan in the ceiling.

Yes. I would consider a different fan for most applications. My self I would probably get a computer case fan as they are made to run for hours on end and are cheaper even if you buy a power supply to run them. The Broan fans are supposed to run for shorter periods of time and obviously are good for moist conditions.
