Fan speed is on the back of the motor,  the mist setting are on the front grill

I think the directions could use some diagrams to help with assembly.  I was able to figure it out on my own. But I can see how some people would have a problem.

0.7 Amp label on the motor.  It's louder than the rickety one that was offered to the circular file.  Also, I had to reverse mount the fan as this one spins in the opposite direction needed.  Loud, improperly mounted, and mislabeled - there you have it.

Exceptional fan, quiet motor. Makes the hot summers all the more durable. The fan features different settings but really the lowest setting will do the job for just sitting on the porch. Work on house project turn it up on high. Oh! And best part it helps keep the mosquitoes at bay.

This thing puts out some humidity.  I have to fill it every day (east coast dry winter) I keep it at 40%.  I have the fan speed set to automatic and I never notice it running which is in the middle of my duplex.

The only issue is the speed it only runs at 900-1000 RPM. A traditional 80 or 100mm fan is going 1500-1800 and moving alot more air.

Fan is a little noisy. The fan emits a different frequency than the stock fan so some people will notice the additional noise, others will not

I've only had this fan control for a few weeks. But it has turned my three speed fan into a four speed. I have another identical fan without this control. I can observe both a one time. This switch allows the fan to have a super fast and "creeper" speed. The design with a rotary dial is nothing special. The price is extremely reasonable. Good value.

This mister was easy to install.  It works, however, at a distance up to about 20 feet you can feel water droplets.  It is not to the point of actually getting wet but more moisture than you might want to feel.  This is during relatively mild weather so perhaps when it is hotter it won't be as much of an issue.  It certainly makes the area DRAMATICALLY cooler and between the fan and the mist, mosquitoes are nowhere to be found.  Not perfect, but a decent, inexpensive tweak for a fan!

It is a nice looking fan with remote. Quiet except in fast speed, there is some hum in fast speed, perhaps to be expected. Easy to install. Following the instruction to push the wires into the junction box is not possible, I spoke with the home depot people, they agreed that is hard to do if at all.  hey suggested leaving them in the canopy.  He also told me to wind the wires around the post and not cut them just in case you will need to use a longer extender.  But doing so causes the wires to stick out through the gap between the canopy and the down rod. So I cut the to size.

My son is an Auto-Tech and the heat inside the bays in the summertime is horrendous. He loves this fan!

I use this fan camping to keep the bugs away. This fan is very quiet even on the highest setting and moves the air noticeably within a good 15' arc on the second and third setting, I don't use the fourth speed often as it moves more air than I want. It was a breeze to put together and only took a couple minutes to assemble. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a really quiet fan.

I had to return mine....the fan was barely spinning....no significant airflow,just like what other reviewers mentioned...it could be a powersupply issue...I couldn't have been designed just to look pretty..well I hope not...if you do get it good luck ..hopefully you get a functional unit

Title says it all.  Hot summer with new fan, works perfectly. saw some reviews claiming it is louder than OE fan, but I don't hear it.

********************UPDATE*********************************
Just under 4yrs, fan cut out, car overheated while idling.  Control module (silver box on back driver's side) seems to be bad as fan SOMETIMES works, but usually does not.  Contacted VDO today, will report back with what they say.  If they do not help, then I advise you buy from autozone or anyone else who has a fan with a lifetime warranty.  Maybe they're good folks...we'll give them a chance. For now I reduced rating from 5 to 3.

This product does a great job. It kicks on when it needs to. The fan is not too loud. I sit directly in front of the console and I do not notice hot air reaching where I am.

I was having some personal dissatisfaction seeing my motor run at 170*F. Turns out it was simply the thermostat stuck wide open. Runs at 190-192*F now and I couldn't be happier.

This is a great fan, especially given it's price.

However, if you are using this in an application where the fan blades are exposed and can be contacted, I would purchase a grill.  I bumped the fan while it was operating and broke a fin.  I don't fault the fan, rather my careless installation.

I am using this fan inside a kegerator to cool the draft tower, and it is working great (even with one fin missing!).

Thanks to crapshooter for your discovery and for sharing! I need some help.

Question: Do the 2 guys quoted below disagree? Or is Mikie just using the perspective from behind the stove?

Mikie (Colorado, USA)
"This review is from: Fasco K612 1/65 HP 115 Volt 3000 RPM Vent Fan C-Frame Motor (Tools & Home Improvement)
 It worked great. As delivered it works on the right side. If you are replacing the left side motor simply take the screws out, reverse the frames on the coils and the armature so the rotation will be correct."

"(These perspectives are viewing the fan installed on the stove.) For the left side fan, motor can be installed without alteration. On the right side, the fan transformer must be reversed. (you have to remove the two torx bolts rotate the transformer 180 degrees then reassemble) This makes the motor shaft spin the opposite direction. "

I just installed this replacement motor on my Lopi Freedom Bay. It works good, but then it started vibrating awful! I removed the assembly and can't find out the source of the noise. The fan spins without any noise, and the screws are too far away to hit it.
I made sure all rivets were replaced. Mounted the assmbly tight, still loud vibrating noise.
I wondered can anybody help with a wiring question? One of the wires on the new motor was attached to a different female receptacle port on it, compared to the original motor. Should this wire be moved to match the original motor's connections?

Any help is very appreciated! Especially since we've got some 20 degree nights next week!

A video on this fix would be great!
