Broken Broan Bathroom Vent Fan

I think you should take the cover off and clean it.

I have the same one in my house (the fan was installed in 1982, when the house was built) and it doesn't move much air, and occasionally it make this weird rattling sound.

how old is it?

@TGB747

Not very old; I have one identical to this in my bathroom and my house was built in '89. The fan is original to the house.

did you replace it? if so did you keep the old fan?

[EPISLON120]

@xctome no the fan is still here

[xctome]

@EPISLON120 are you gonna replace or fix it? also what year is it from?

[EPISLON120]

@xctome its probably gonna stay here for a while

That's a pretty cool fan - I wonder if the motor needs to be greased or something?

And is that a bird's beak I see at 0:29!?!

[EPISLON120]

@romex521 i dont think so. there is so much dust that it probably forms different shapes

I bet you, either the bearings went bad, or something is caught in it.
