6. Connect Wiring: Connect the electrical wires from the heater unit to the new motor assembly. Use wire nuts or appropriate electrical connectors to ensure secure and insulated connections. Match the wiring configuration noted during removal of the old unit.
7. Reassemble Unit: Carefully replace the grille or cover of the heater unit, ensuring all fasteners are tightened and the cover is securely in place.
8. Restore Power and Test: Turn the power back ON at the circuit breaker or fuse box. Test the heater unit to ensure the new motor assembly operates correctly, providing heat and proper airflow. Listen for any unusual noises.

4. Operation

The Nutone 69355000 Replacement Heat Motor Assembly functions as the core component for circulating heated air within your compatible Nutone heater unit. Once properly installed, its operation is controlled by the existing switches and thermostat of your heater unit. When the heater is activated, the motor drives the blower wheel, drawing in cool air, passing it over the heating element (if applicable to your unit), and expelling warm air into the room.

5. Maintenance

Regular maintenance helps ensure the longevity and efficient operation of your heater unit and its motor assembly.

• Power Disconnection: Always disconnect power to the unit before performing any maintenance.
• Cleaning: Periodically remove the heater grille and gently clean the blower wheel and motor housing with a soft brush or vacuum cleaner to remove dust and debris. Accumulation of dust can reduce efficiency and cause overheating.
• Inspection: Annually inspect the motor assembly for any signs of wear, loose connections, or unusual vibrations. Ensure the blower wheel spins freely without obstruction.
• Lubrication: This motor assembly is typically sealed and does not require lubrication. Do not attempt to lubricate the motor unless specifically instructed by the manufacturer of your heater unit.

6. Troubleshooting

If your heater unit is not functioning correctly after installing the replacement motor assembly, refer to the following common issues and solutions:

If troubleshooting steps do not resolve the issue, it is recommended to consult a qualified electrician or HVAC technician.
