I kept noticing that the bathroom vent was dusty, and that would probably decrease its performance. I got around to it, and there weren't any screws like I was expecting. This video made everything clear, and I got it done no problem. Thank you. Also, it's good to know that dust could decrease the lifespan of the motor, that makes cleaning it more important than I thought.
My vent cover is metal? THANK YOU so much 👍 I've been in my home 50 yrs., I'm 76 woman and this is the FIRST time I've ever been able to remove the metal grate cover, unplug the fan, and cleaned the whole thing. The 'tip' of using rubber gloves was also very helpful to allow me to pull out the plug. WOW - Now, to get it back together. 💖 The last time it was cleaned (other than superficial thru the grate) was when my nephew painted my bathroom several years ago.
Thank you so much for reaching out to us, and that’s great to hear. Having the unit freshly cleaned puts you in a good mood. Please reach out to us any time. 😁👍🧰
You are very welcome Allison, thanks for watching. Detailed & to the point is our goal. Hopefully many stress free days ahead for you, thanks again Allison. 😎👍🔧🔩
I only vacuum once in awhile..actually 2 a year. Dust with a rag more often when I'm dusting. This was very helpful and seems easy to do. I'm giving it a try after learning from you. Thank you so much !
Excellent and simple video. I needed to clean my vent with soap and water. Once it was dry, I spray painted it white again as it had yellowed over the years. Looks new! Thanks for posting this video.
Perfect video. My Nutone bathroom ceiling vent tends to accumulate a lot of dust. I used to sweep it with a broom, but I knew that was not getting all the accumulated dust that was on the inside of the vent. Your video just .ade .e comfortable on how to handle this situation. THANK YOU!!!
@@byronwillis2619 Good morning ☕️ You are very welcome and we are honored to receive this comment from you. A broom can indeed be a good option for the the vent cap however removing cap and gaining access to the entire internal housing for proper cleaning really helps and puts you in a great mood. 😎👍🧰
We’re remodeling our bathroom, and naturally we weren’t sure how to get it off…. This is the very first video that came up in my search, and it matches perfectly!!! I’ve never had a solution present itself so quickly and completely. Thank you!!
That’s great to hear and we are happy to hear our video helped. Congrats on the new remodel project, hope it going well. You can reach out to us any time, enjoy your week. 😎👍
Thank you! I just moved into an apartment and everything was nice and clean except these fan covers. Thanks to your video, I was able to clean them without help.
You are very welcome Anne, so happy to help. Congrats on the new apartment, hopefully many stress free days ahead for you in your new place. Welcome to the DIY Raptor Club.
I'm adding this to my single Mom DIY tab, these videos have saved me. I have a collection. It's safe to just unplug the fan? I don't need to turn off the power at the breaker box or anything crazy? Not that I know how
@@txrn79 Thanks for watching, it’s safe indeed. As long as the fan is fully disconnected from outlet and all electrical power is removed, it’s safe to service. 😁👍🧰
Thank you so much! I'm in a rental with a very lazy landlord and our bathroom fan does absolutely nothing so I'm going to clean it to see if that helps. I got as far as pulling the plastic panel down to where it was hanging but didn't get any farther on my own.
Thanks for watching, sometimes it just gets to a point where you need to take things into your own hands!!! 😁 We are looking forward to hearing back from you.
I thought I broke mine the metal hinge undid itself when I tried to open it 😬 I am SO glad I came across this video. I would of never disconnected the plug 🔌 Or used a vacuum (i didn’t think of it). All I was using was a swifter duster. Your video was super helpful! But I don’t want to clean that thing again until I get a ladder 🪜 I barely reached using a chair in the tub on my tippy toes 😳 thanks for helping an average mom get her home cleaner👍🏼
Good afternoon Sarah, we appreciate you sharing this. Sounds like you have the project well underway & have a concrete plan to succeed. Keep us posted on your project. Us DIY’ers need to stick together. Hope all is well with you. Enjoy your day Sarah. 😎👍🔧🔩
But you neglected the fan blades. Loads of dust will accumulate on the blades due to the fact that the fan is exhausting moist air from the bathroom. This moist air combines with naturally occurring dust particles and then builds up on the fan blades. This will also prematurely shorten the life of the fan bushing. You need to remove that dust build up with a toothbrush or a cut down plastic putty knife.
No problem taken off the cover and cleaning things, first vacuuming loose dust, then water and detergent and toothbrush and rinse and dry. Noticed some corrosion on springs as I took them out. Released them and slightly sanded them, then applied super-thin coat of WD40. I still can only get one of them in. Need some advice or trick!!!!! Those two springs back up into their respective slots is just about the hardest thing I've attempted recently. What am I doing wrong?.
Thanks for watching, awesome job making it a DIY project. Any update? These little clips can be a bit stubborn at times. Do you have a larger ladder that will allow you to get in a position where you can see clips going into slots as opposed to working from below? We have had the same trouble as you’re mentioning and getting a better position to see more level helps us. Please keep us posted.
Thanks for the video, had this for a new retrofit install, left the thing apart for about 7 months before I finally got it installed and forgot how the plastic cover went on😂
Good morning & welcome to the DIY Raptor Club, you are very welcome. We are happy to hear we could help. A successful DIY project is a successful DIY project...even if it lasted 7 months. We hope all is well with you and your family. Enjoy your upcoming weekend. 😎👍
Thanks for watching, that shouldn’t happen however not as uncommon as you think. We recommend inspecting exhaust-end where air is exhausted out of home. It’s either on your roof or coming out the side of your siding near the bathroom window. Check to see if it is damaged in any way that is increasing the likelihood of water entering duct.
@@DIYwithMichaelBorders You know it! I’ll be a life time subscriber! Thanks again for your help! I’m very grateful. I can now look at that exhaust fan with confidence! Instead of fear..
My vent is a round one, is there a particular place where I should hold and pull the cover down? The cover seems to rotate freely but I am worried if I pull hard I might break it.
Thanks for watching, some will have a little slot to help you position your hands to pull however most don’t. You should be able to just carefully pull vent down and away from ceiling. Please keep us posted.
Thanks for the explanation! I'm not sure if you're making a joke or not but "youtubers" are people who make videos, not watch them. You're the RU-vidr not us

Thanks for the share, however, the only thing you remove is the cover and not the fan - I jumped on this video thinking you'd remove the fan itself going by the title of the video!

do people accually not take out the whole fan unit and clean it? clean up smear the fan? seems like it should be done. not just a simple vacuum. or many I just wait to long to long to do it.
Thanks for watching & welcome to the DIY Raptor Club. Removing the entire fan motor unit for cleaning is definitely an option. We appreciate you sharing this, enjoy your night. 😎👍🔧🔩
Why people don't wash the plastic cover is beyond me 🤦🏽♀️ That is going to save time, effort and will get it super clean. It takes a few mins and while you're clean the internal parts, it will dry. I Wash mine 2x a year. Work smarter not harder people.
this helped except mine was liek a big cylinder with tons of little slots all around it and its filled with dust and i have no tool able to dislodge that stuff...

Good morning ☕️ The motor can be removed. In most cases, it’s a friendly project and requires a few bolts to be removed to allow the motor to lower out of mount/insert.
I'm late in this reply but it's possible it was painted over so maybe run a box cutter around it, the area between the cover and the ceiling. to cut the paint in between
@@MrKurber appreciate the reply. I found with mine because it has a light attached to it I have to take the light cover off and unscrew a screw behind the lightbulb.
@@DIYwithMichaelBorders everything is good, other than it was way dirtier. Couldn’t get it off and didn’t want to pull. Your video showed me how and bam! also, I can putty the ceiling now.... yay... 😅
