Zero Knievel Posted January 3 Posted January 3 (edited) We installed NuTone Heat-A-Ventlite in both bathrooms (QT-9093). They are starting to show their age. I thought of just replacing them, but I can’t tell if the model is completely discontinued. AliExpress has them, but I don’t know if that’s a reputable source. What we currently have. If I must go with something else, a comparable unit with the hole already in the ceiling would work best. The ceiling-side calls for a 14” diameter hole. Not sure how to search for a replacement one. The existing model has exhaust fan, forced air head, light and night light functions. I was hoping this model was still kicking around so rewireing would not be needed.

XXitanium Posted January 4 Posted January 4 I just replaced the guts at my in-I'm aws. The assembly was on the shelf at Menards. One of the few times I was the smart one in the room and I got credit for doing the work. 1 Quote
XXitanium Posted January 4 Posted January 4 Pull out the existing fan assembly to get the correct replacement. ...this is about labor savings, avoiding drywall repair and speed of getting it done. Quote

That may be a problem. I see replacements for the exhaust fan but not the heater fan. After 30 years, I suppose the, motor is weakening…although you’d think the exhaust fan would wear out first.

Zero Knievel Posted January 4 Author Posted January 4 Well, thanks to the Oracle that is YouTube, I saw how easy it was to disassemble the unit without having to pull whole housing out of the ceiling. I’ve spent over an hour cleaning all the dusted crud out of all the parts. The next step is to reassemble it and see if it runs better than it did beforehand Quote
