May or may not be a problem. The unit took less than an hour to install, and it seems to draw properly, however the assemply instructions could be better. It was easier going when I just set them aside and used my imagination. For example, there are 5 very short sheet metal screws provided, but they require the holes in the scroll band (be sure you mount the band witht the correct side facing up) and the new housing to line up perfectly. Not an easy task when working overhead in a tight space. I subbed 1-1/2" long screws to help guide the matching, and that did the trick. Suggest using a socket wrench with an extention and be sure to cover the drain hole if you are working over a tub or shower.

Will not fit in old unit without modification. The metal collar is almost impossible to fit into the old Nutone unit. By reading other reviews and carefully removing motor from old plastic housing and inserting new motor in the old housing, we were able to replace successfully. Instructions with motor were not that helpful.

Short (but tricky) installation; quiet operation As others have noted, the replacement fan and collar are not identical to the original. In particular, the original fan in my unit had an integral plastic collar, rather than a separate collar made of sheet metal. Nonetheless, the new parts fit perfectly. Yes, it's tricky to get the screws lined up with the holes. But it's doable. After tightening everything down, I found that the fan runs very quietly. (And that's the reason I replaced the old fan: it was unacceptably noisy.) Some of the reviewers here say that the new fan is noisy; perhaps they weren't able to attach the motor and the collar securely to the unit ... or perhaps something else in the unit is loose (maybe the entire unit?). In any event, I am very pleased with the quiet operation of the replacement exhaust fan.
