What Customers Are Saying

The replacement motor is generally quiet and effective at moving air, though a few customers noted it may not be as powerful as the original. Some minor modifications like reversing the motor direction or shortening the shaft length were sometimes required to ensure a proper fit. A few customers also mentioned the lack of included mounting nuts as a minor inconvenience. Overall, this is a reliable and affordable solution that allows customers to easily refresh an older bathroom exhaust fan.

Works for 688-D But You Have To Reverse Screws

Would Recommend

This item BP27 does work to repair motor plate 688-D, but the mounting screws are pointing in the wrong direction. I was able to remove the mounting screws and put them through in the opposite direction using a T15 torx driver and just pass them through the other direction. Not an exact replacement for original motor but works fine.

Perfect but one thing

Would Recommend

The replacement kit arrived on time and was an easy fix after installing and discovering the spindle was about 1/8” too long, hitting the metal framework and preventing it from turning. I used a hacksaw and now it is working beautifully.

It really blows

Would Recommend

This was a perfect drop-in replacement for our existing fan motor. I can’t believe how quiet it is and it blows air better than the previous one we had. When our old fan motor started growling I was worried I would need to replace my entire bathroom vent fixture and housing, but that is not necessary. Finding this replacement motor was a savings and an easy fix. Win win!

They can figure it out themselves.

Would Recommend

Worked great. The two thread sticks that hold the mounting bracket on are an 1/8” to long for older model fans. Could we lock in a price for $15 a piece?
