Broan-Nutone Ventilation Fan Assembly S0696B000
Keeping appliances up-to-date is the only way to ensure the
safety of our home. Appliances are not guaranteed to last forever, and
ventilation fans are vital for exchanging toxic air. Cooking on stove tops
expels hazardous air contaminants such as Nitrogen dioxide (NO2),
Carbon Monoxide (CO), formaldehyde (HCHO), and carcinogens. These toxins are a
major health hazard and should be adequately removed to keep our family safe.
Not only do inoperable range hoods cause health issues, but inefficient or not
working bathroom fans pose a serious threat.
It may not be apparent
to most home owners, but bathrooms are a major source of humidity in a home. An
excess of humidity combined with warm air creates the perfect environment for
mold and mildew to grow. Mold is extremely hazardous because it rapidly
replicates and expels spore into the air. An over exposure to mold can cause
serious sicknesses that include high fevers and lung infections. Sicknesses
caused by mold growth are dangerous and will persist until humidity levels are
adequately controlled.
However, despite these
issues, there are many valid reasons as to why it is difficult to maintain our
appliances. The main reason why some appliances are not fixed is because some
replacement parts are difficult to find or are no longer available. Many
manufacturers cease production of replacement parts because it is no longer
cost effective and they can force consumers to purchase a complete new unit.
Fortunately Storeforparts.com
specializes in older replacement parts and will have the parts you need. They
parts lists ranged from older brands such as Broan-Nutone to Aubrey, Air-Care,
and Nautilus.
One of the most common
parts to fail on a ventilation unit is the motor. Sometimes it may be difficult
to find a motor replacement, but the most difficult part most people don’t think
about is reattaching the blade to the motor. Blades need to be attached and
balanced correctly or they increase the risk of wearing out the motor fast or
even rendering the ventilation fan useless. Because of these risks, reattaching
the blade to the motor is recommended to only be performed by an experienced technician.
Even to experts, this task can be very difficult and it is much easier to
purchase the product with the blade already attached and balanced. This is
called a “complete assembly” and comes with a motor, blade, and bracket.
One of the most popular complete assemblies is the S0696B000, which goes
to the models QT100L, QT100LH, QT110, QT100FL, and QT9093. Complete
assemblies are extremely useful because they are pre-assembled and ready to be
installed. Most technicians don’t have the time to remove multiple parts just
to replace a single part. Complete assemblies can be removed in two simple
steps and can be reinstalled in just the same. Don’t waste multiple hours on
something that can be done in a few minutes with a complete assembly like the
S0696B000.
