PACKARD 3.3 Inch Diameter Vent Fan Motor Direct Replacement For Nutone / Broan

This motor replaced an original model #M-684 Nutone bathroom fan motor (motor model # 1AAC077) that was installed about 60 years ago. Nutone no longer makes the original motor and no replacement for it is mentioned in any of the internet searches that I did. However, this one fits and runs perfectly. This motor, unlike the original, has a D-shaped shaft so the fan blower on the old unit, which did not have a D-shaped shaft opening, had to be replaced with a compatible D-shaped shaft fan blower. The vendor was prompt and on time in delivering the unit.

I have Nutone exhaust fans model 8830 and I used this motor to replace the old 4135 motor that came with them in 1966. You have to cut off the shaft a little bit with a hack saw since its long and you need to turn around the 3 bolts to attach the motor to the old bracket that is in your Nutone fan (easy to do, just do them one at a time so that the motor doesn't fall apart if they're all out at once!!!) but other than that, it's a great replacement. Clears the air so much faster than the old dying motors. True they don't have oiling ports in them like the originals, but at this price if they fail in ten years or so, they can be replaced again and you can keep your rugged, metal squirrel cage (and metal grille and heavy metal chassis... Strong metal everywhere!) exhaust fan going good or better (these new motors have high rpm's) as new for years. Hardest part was getting the squirrel cage off the old motor. I auditioned this motor in one bathroom for a year and it has been so good I'm going to do the rest of the bathrooms with them now. Glad that this cheap Motor works great. No need to buy the super expensive "replacement" from the manufacturer. Chances are it's the same motor as this just marked up and with the sawed shaft and bolts turned around. Photo is "before". After is the same. New cord is ungrounded too, so it'll fit. Motor may need a little help to get spinning and be a tad noisy when you first use it, but after a few minutes, it'll be broken in and start on its own quietly

On the 21st Dec. my true love said to me: "We have guests coming for Xmas and the bathroom fan is broken".An old Nutone 8060 bathroom fan that looked used when we moved in, and that was 20 years ago.The motor had seized, easily diagnosed by the fact that the blades were suddenlyreally hard to turn. Took off the cover, looked at the fan: only 3 pieces to it -- the bracket, themotor, and the blades. The motor is a 26750SER. Read the reviews, compared prices, ordered the 22nd,arrived the 24th. It looks almost exactly like the picture.The bolts fit the existing frame *exactly*. The spindle may or may not be longer (forgot to measure) but since the bladeis adjustable and there was plenty of clearance, it wasn't an issue. About 10 minutes work, including searching for the stepladder, screwdriver and pliers.Although it's a replacement, it's not identical to the original. The new one is unsealed, the latter completely sealed. In general, that means the new unit won't last as long in humid/dirty conditions (hello, bathroom?) but given how long the original lasted, and the price of the replacement, I'm not bothered.

The Packard motor is overall the right size and the right spec for replacing the Nutone fan motor, but it is not exactly the same. Two items require some fiddly adjustment, but both are easily done if you have the right tools:1. The shaft is too long by about 1/2 inch. It needed to be cut to length to fit the fan housing.2. The side bolts used for securing the motor to the front pate run right through the motor, whereas on the Nutone the bolts are directly attached to the motor casing. This small difference makes it more difficult to tighten the nuts as the bolt itself turns.If you are ok with those two slight hassles the price is right and the motor works fine.

Motor was an exact fit to my antique one

The media could not be loaded. Motor replacement:Was supposed to be a replacement for an old M-684 Mercury system. This motor doesn't start unless I manually help it. It's already been fitted to my old fan and mounted so there's no way for me to return this garbage. Waste of $60

It fit right into my old fan housing but I had to graft on the old cord cap since this one isn't a 90 degree. It performs well, but it has a heavy low frequency drone. Not as loud as the worn out motor I replaced, but not exactly quiet.
