Exhaust Fan Dead or Weak? Motor & Blower Assembly S10941266 – Restore Full Airflow Fast

If your Broan or NuTone bathroom exhaust fan has stopped running, hums without moving air, or runs at reduced speed, a failed motor and blower assembly is almost always the cause. In most Broan NuTone exhaust fans, this is caused by a worn-out motor winding or seized blower wheel that can no longer generate adequate airflow. When it fails, moisture and odors build up in the bathroom or kitchen, leading to mold risk and poor indoor air quality. ⚡ Common failure point in Broan and NuTone ventilation fans. Part S10941266 is the genuine OEM replacement that restores full motor speed and blower output, bringing your exhaust fan back to factory performance.

❓ Is This the Right Part?

This is the correct fix if ALL of the following are true:

• ✔ Fan housing and grille are intact and undamaged
• ✔ Power is confirmed at the fan switch and wiring
• ✔ Ductwork is clear with no blockage or restriction
• ✔ ONLY problem is the motor not spinning or running slowly/noisily

🔧 Common Symptoms

• Exhaust fan runs but moves little or no air
• Fan hums but blower wheel does not spin
• Motor makes grinding, rattling, or squealing noise
• Fan completely dead with power confirmed at the unit

✔ If these symptoms match, this is the most likely failed component in the system.

✔ In most cases, replacing this motor and blower assembly restores normal exhaust fan operation immediately.
