How to Clean NuTone Bathroom Fan [Step-by-Step Guide]

Fans in the bathroom are necessary, but they are often forgotten to be cleaned. Several types of residential products have been produced by NuTone, including electric heaters, doorbells, and bathroom exhaust fans.

However, bathroom fans need to be cleaned regularly regardless of the manufacturer. It is easy to forget about bathroom fans, and they rarely get cleaned until they malfunction. Our fans can’t function properly if they are clogged with dust and other debris.

The moisture in your home can fester into mold if your fan isn’t working properly. NuTone bathroom fans are discussed in this article. Here is a step-by-step cleaning guide and a list of tools you will need. This process can be used to clean most NuTone fans, regardless of whether they have lights.

Here we go.

Make sure your fan is turned off before you begin cleaning to prevent electrocution. For a short period of time, turn off your fan if you have a light in it.

Step 2.

Cover the fan with a cloth and remove it. Squeeze one or both ends of the NuTone fan cover and pull down to remove it.

Step 3.

It will still be hanging there in the air after you remove the cover from the ceiling. You can remove the cover completely by squeezing the two V-shaped clamps at each end.

Step 4.

It’s time to clean the cover now that it’s been removed. The cover can be cleaned with a handheld brush and a Dyson vacuum with a brush attachment, or with a handheld brush as well. In addition to cleaning the cover while it was still on the ceiling, you could have also cleaned it while it was hanging.

The fan blades and housing need to be cleaned now that the cover has been cleaned.

Step 6.

Remove the light bulb from your NuTone fan if it has one.

A flathead screwdriver can be used to remove the metal plate that holds your fan to the ceiling. During this process, the fan blade, the housing motor, and the plate will all be removed.

You can usually clean the fan blades and housing with a brush and rag.
