I ordered this motor to replace one that was getting tired in our attic exhaust fan. I was looking for motors on Amazon and several that were close seemed to be from Electric Motor Warehouse. In my case , I had to find what I needed based on the old motor as there are no data plates on the fan assembly. Hot Tip: Go to the Electric Motor site First where you will find endless choices and find what you need, Then come back to Amazon and plug what you need into the search box and bingo, you're on your way! It would be helpful in a case like this if Electric Motor had a "drill down" search using motor specs -hp,volts,rotation, etc, but with a little patience you'll find what you need. This turned out to be a perfect replacement. Very happy with it.

As with the related fan blade that I also replaced, this improved motor works well. This too was the second time I replaced a motor. The original motor had bearing problems and only lasted a few years. I replaced the motor and fan assembly at that time. This time, the replacement motor finally seized up and needed replacement. This new motor is an improved model over that previous motor. It turns smoothly and installed easily. I hope to get at least 16 years from this motor like I did the last one.

These motors are the worst you could ever buy. Why? They are designed so that if you forget to oil the motor they will fail and burn out in a year ,two at the most. They could design them so that they don't need to be oiled but then they could not sell you the replacement motor for more than you can buy the whole fan assembly. This is a racket if I have ever seen one. I am going to make my own fan assembly with a good quality motor that will last for years with out having to be oiled every year.

My previous attic fan motor was made by Broan and it lasted 20 years so I wanted a replacement made by the same company. I ordered this item from partshouse but when I received it I noticed it was not made by Broan but by Packard which is a completely different company. I questioned partshouse about this and they tried to blow me off and said it's the same motor. I refused to accept this and I returned the item. I really get annoyed when companies use these deceptive practices. I notified Amazon about this but up until now they have apparently taken no action. If you want a Broan motor you will have to pay more and buy from a reputable company. I gave the product a neutral three stars since I didn't actually use the product. For those of you considering ordering this item just be aware of this.

Was a direct replacement for the motor that went out on me. Went in smoothly, just needed to be more careful with the positioning of the wires relative to the supports of the mounting bracket since the wire box mounted to one of the three braces. Not a problem with the fan though. Went in early summer and still going strong (during a warm day in early fall).
