Stop living with a noisy, sluggish, or dead bathroom fan. The NBK Parts 20702 is a purpose-built direct replacement motor for a wide range of Broan NuTone exhaust ventilation fans. Rated at 1260 RPM and 120V/60Hz, it restores your fan to full airflow performance -- pulling moisture and odors out of the bathroom efficiently -- without the cost of replacing the entire fan assembly.
When a bathroom exhaust fan fails, the culprit is almost always the motor -- not the housing, not the grille, not the wiring. The NBK Parts 20702 lets you swap just the motor and get back to proper ventilation in minutes. It is a drop-in fit for the compatible models listed below and requires no modification to the existing fan housing.
This motor runs at a counter-clockwise rotation with a 3.3-inch diameter case, a standard 2-prong plug, and two back studs for secure mounting -- matching the factory configuration of the original Broan and GE motors it replaces.
Matches the mounting stud pattern, shaft size, plug type, and rotation direction of the original motor. No drilling, adapters, or wiring changes needed for compatible models.
7-watt draw at 0.21 amps keeps operating costs low while the 1260 RPM speed maintains proper airflow through your existing fan blade and duct.
Counter-clockwise shaft rotation is factory-correct for the compatible Broan NuTone fan assemblies. Using the wrong rotation direction would reverse airflow -- this one gets it right.
Backed by a limited 2-year manufacturer warranty from NBK Parts, covering defects in materials and workmanship.
The NBK 20702 is a direct replacement for the following original Broan NuTone and OEM motor part numbers:
If your existing motor carries one of these part numbers on its label, the 20702 is the correct replacement. Cross-reference by checking both the part number and the electrical ratings (120V, 1260 RPM, CCW) on your current motor label before ordering.
Before ordering, remove the fan grille and pull the motor from the housing. The original part number and RPM/voltage specs are printed on the motor casing. Confirming these details takes 2 minutes and eliminates the risk of ordering the wrong replacement.
This is a motor-only replacement. The fan blade, housing, grille, and duct are not included. Installation is straightforward for a DIYer comfortable with basic electrical work:
This listing is for the motor assembly only. The fan blade, grille cover, housing, and any capacitor are not included. Reuse your existing fan blade. If the blade is damaged, source a replacement separately before installation.
The compatible motor numbers listed above (80RDF, 684-D, JA2C227D, etc.) are the best way to confirm fitment. The fan model number printed on your grille does not always match the internal motor part number -- always check the motor label directly.
While the motor is out, clean the fan housing, blade, and duct opening with a vacuum and damp cloth. Lint and dust buildup on the blade and housing reduces airflow even with a brand-new motor. A clean installation maximizes performance from day one.
