Fixing attic fan from inside.

Perhaps you don t feel like repairing it or you can t find the right parts either. This attic fan motor is the most expensive repair for attic exhaust fans. Look inside your attic for mold and rotted sheathing. Make the final repair as soon as weather permits.

After you realize that it s not an electrical or thermostat problem the chances of it being a problem with the motor are quite high. Open the attic access door. Repairing a roof leak from the inside is a temporary fix only. If the motor isn t working you will need an attic fan motor replacement or attic replacement fan.

The last remaining option is to replace your attic fan with a new and quieter model. If the attic floor doesn t have a solid surface for you to walk on put enough 2 by 12 boards into the attic opening to create a walkway to use to get to the gable vents. A blower door test performed by a professional company can help detect air leaks if visual signs are not apparent. Walk carefully on the ceiling joists in the attic or use a sheet of plywood to walk on so you will not accidentally put a hole in the ceiling panel.
