I see the inside 2 black wires are marked NC & C. Does it matter which of these goes to the fan and outlet? Thanks

it is like a single pole switch. it is ac so no polarity issues. the humidistat simply completes circuit when reaches setting.

I was looking back and the fan that you are talking about we have a regular switch that you would turn on and off lights. That switch is very simple to change. Two wires, black wires. the hot side of the power. The white wire will not be on that switch. Make sure the power supply is off when making this repair.

Look at pc board where wires attach written in tiny letters says where wires go.look carefully.

hmmmm, not really?? is it just extra wire from the fan motor, or switch or the incoming power cord? or is it an electrical component?

I'm sorry but I'm really not sure. It's been awhile since the fan was installed. Your best bet is to check with the manufacturer.

You must look at the capacitor. Remove the cover plate on the bottom and look at the little rectangular device with 3 or four wires. Be sure the fan is off ! Then try to match it to the ones available on the net. The values are rated in "uf" so you can compare them. Write down the colors of the wires and the connections, a close replacement will work. Hope this helps !

You need to run your own power to the unit. The unit is factory ready to accept your white, black and green wiring. I supplied power thru my bathroom circuit, thus the fan is on a gfi circuit....not that it needs to be. You can also adapt it into a cord and plug should you be in the attic with an electrical outlet nearby. Let me know if any other questions. Good luck!

The center wire should be Positive. Sorry that's the best I can tell you, it's been way too long since I installed mine.

The fan has a connector block that accepts a stripped end, which is then screwed down with a set screw. The block doesn't have a ground, so only a 2-wire cord is necessary, and the fan draws very little power, so a beefy cord isn't necessary. Best would be 2-wire into a GFI socket or 3-wire with ground to the housing.

Don't know, yet, sorry. I have not installed this fan so far. The one I already own has pull cords so I've got my fingers crossed!

no this is hard wired between electric source and the fan, so you would need to cut the wire in two and tie it to lugs inside of unit.

Yes to both. I put a junction box on the wall behind the fan with a solid cover plate with a hot wire within. cut the plug off the cord and ran the wire within the wall to boxWorks just fine as a pull cord on fan controles the 3 speeds.

Not the fan, the heatsink. My heatsink did. I took it off, and using my own, but probably not a big difference.

Make sure the fan is not blocked with dust and is working, Mine works fine after I removed the plug on the end and wired it directly to the outlet. I went through 3 of these in 6 months but removed the plug and it works like a champ.

Generally the first 2 wires in a 3 wire fan plug are the DC hot and ground, the 3rd wire is used to read the rpm of the fan by most newer mother boards. If you are replacing the unit in a PC that has some sort of temp control that varies the fan speed it will take care of the speed control automatically. Otherwise it should be full power all the time in systems without fan speed control.

If you have the black wires attached to the gold screws and 2 are attached to the silver screws you are fine. the black and white wires from the power supply side need to be attached to the line side of the new outlet. (it should say this on the back of the new outlet) and the other 2 are to be attached to the Load side of the outlet. Remember that the black go to gold side and the white go to the silver side do not cross them.

No problem at all. I think the problem with the other customer was installation. Make sure you follow the directions. It's a good quality fan, you won't be disappointed.
