Troubleshooting

CFM rating on the fan matches the square footage of your room.
The damper is damaged or not working properly.| Check the damper to ensure it is opening and closing properly. If the damper has become damaged, please call Customer Service.
The bend in the duct is too dose to the fan discharge.| Be sure you do not have any sharp bends in the duct doser than 18 in. to the fan discharge.
The fan discharge is reduced to fit a smaller duct.| Use the recommended size ducting to reduce fan noise.
The fan body is not attached securely.| Be sure the fan is securely attached to the ceiling joists.
The fan is not clearing the room.| There is insufficient airflow intake in the room.| Be sure a door or window is slightly ajar or opened to allow airflow. The fan is not able to draw air out of the room without enough airflow to draw from.
There is insufficient CFM.| Be sure the CFM rating on the fan matches the requirements for your room size.
NOTE: Using a tissue is not the correct method for determining if the fan is operating properly. if the fan dears steam from the room within approximately 15 minutes of completing your shower. then the fan is operating properly.
