Can you easily remove the white finished grill? If so, what is the diameter of the fan blades? Thanks

My fan is about 8 inches, and it fills the entire drum that the fan is in. Once installed it is hard to measure the fan blades because they are at the exterior end of the drum.

Hey Mudd, the fan is approximately 7inch. The grill has a flat knob 2 inches in dia. in the center of the Grill. Just unscrew the knob, pull off the fan switch knob and the grill comes off in your hand. very simple and may I say I love the fan. I installed it thru the wall in our bathroom and it removes oders and shower steem very quickley. The fan blades and the grill will not rust....................Hal.

Yes it comes off easy. If I recall the hole is 7-8 inches or so across maybe more

The grill removes very easily by unscrewing the center cap and pulling the plastic switch cover off, However DO NOT over tighten the center cap when reinstalling, the cap is cheaply made of plastic and breaks easily! I have had to order replacement caps twice (about $12.00 with shipping). As for the blade diameter, I'm going to guess 8" but not sure, hope this helps!

The hole for my fan box is 10" wide x 12" long and the slots for the spring clips are 8 3/4" apart. The new grille covers the hole for the fan box by about an inch on the sides and about 3/4" on each end. If that helps. I bought these grilles to upgrade the look of my old dingy grilles. They are more flush and easier to clean as well.

It is basically 4.5 inches across the entire fan. The actual blades are a bit smaller, the the grill is basically 4.5 inches.

No the grill does not have to be removed. Nothing had to be removed. The hardest part is getting the bolts started.

Yes there are 6 small screws that hold the front grill to the rear grill and then its easy to get to the blades. But slightly tricky to put it back together. I found that once I got a couple started that I just layed the fan down with front facing up then the rest of the screws were replaced easily. I used my fan all of last summer 2012 and performed beautifully. The really nice thing about this fan is you can close the window behind the fan with the fan still in the window.

I clean the blades with clorex wipes.. once I removed the grill off.. it s hard to remove the screws.. had to struggle with it.. finally I got it removed.. whew.. so from now on, I do not have that screw sealed tightly any more after I put the grill back on. yes, you do need to clean the blades and remove the dust.. it will create more problems and in the motor in back.. best to keep it clean at all times..

Sorry, but mine is in my motorhome so I can't measure it. The grilling surface is not very much smaller than the whole case - maybe 1" smaller at each side????

I have never found a way to easily disassemble this unit in front. It was obviously made to keep the consumer out. Of course, not being able to properly clean the fan will shorten the life of the unit... gee, I wonder if Holmes thought of that... duh. Anyway, the best you can do is hold a vacuum cleaner hose up against the grill and suck out as much dirt as possible - which is what we do with them occasionally. Good luck with it.

The filter for mine measures 9.5 inches in diameter. The white plastic grill measures 11 inches in diameter. The grill covers the hole in the ceiling. The filter is held in place by the grill. Hope this helps.

For some years, with the HM1865 I had, I was able to carefully pry the slotted fan cover off around its edges with a dull, thin blade from a butter-type table knife.(Not a sharp knife!) It snaps back on easily. You can clean the top of the plastic blades that way, and reach most of the bottoms, carefully and without bending anything. Clean inside the filter cover as well, from the bottom, when you remove it from the unit.

Robert, I went and measured mine... the 10" refers to the outside diameter... the grill area measures at 9. IMHO, this fan is sweet... three speeds stationary and three oscillating with the tilt factor, compact with a nice length power cord... this little guy does what I need and I love it.

Yes it can be removed easily and replaced just as easy.I love this little grill- had rejected anything but charcoal for most of my life.We use this all the time, indoors and out.

Nancy It is very easy the grills are teflon coated along with the drip tray that is easily removed. I just use warm soapy water and a scrubbing sponge

The wooden handles are removable. As a matter of fact the wooden handles are the reason the manufacturer has discontinued this model. As constructed, the wooden handles are too close to the base and in some instances have caught fire as a result. I have this grill, love it, and am unhappy it has been discontinued. use use if with care.

The fan is at our cabin, so I do not have it in front of me to answer your question. However, I believe the front grill is metal and the back grill is plastic.

The front unscrews with a Phillips head screwdriver. Be careful though, the inside heating element, being ceramic, is brittle as heck. A bit of dust shouldn't affect the function much, and since it doesn't have a fan passing air through it, it shouldn't build up a heavy deposit. If you want to clean it, I'd focus on the front grill itself and leave the heating elements alone.

U don't have to really remove anything, the fan comes with an adaptor that adjusts to the bottom vent openning. Just slide back the door all the way and fit the adaptor plate and plug in the fan. I take mine off each time to close the vent. I only use it for long BBQs not grilling.
