TROUBLESHOOTING

PROBLEM	POSSIBLE CAUSE	SOLUTION
The fan seems louder than it should.	The CFM is too great for the space.	Be sure the CFM rating on the fan matches the square footage of your room.
	The damper is damaged or not working properly.	Check the damper to ensure it is opening and closing properly. If the damper has become damaged, please call Customer Service.
	The bend in the duct is too close to the fan discharge.	Be sure you do not have any sharp bends in the duct within 18 in. of the fan discharge.
	The fan discharge is reduced to fit a smaller duct.	Use the recommended size ducting to reduce fan noise.
	The fan body is not attached securely.	Be sure the fan is securely attached to the ceiling joists.
The fan is not clearing humidity from the room.	There is insufficient airflow intake in the room.	Be sure a door or window is slightly ajar or open to allow airflow. The fan is not able to draw air out of the room without enough airflow.
The fan is not clearing humidity from the room.	There is insufficient CFM. NOTE: Using a tissue is not the correct method for determining if the fan is operating properly. If the fan clears steam from the room within approximately 15 minutes of completing your shower, then the fan is operating properly.	Be sure the CFM rating of the fan matches the square footage of your room.
BLUETOOTH® device will not pair with the fan.	Another device is already paired.	Make sure BLUETOOTH® signal is tuned off on other devices.
Switch will not power up.	There is a wiring issue at the switch or the power is not turned on at the fuse box or circuit breaker	Check the wiring diagram on page 5 and confirm the wiring is correct. Verify the power is turned on.
