About AIR KING AMERICA AS50 KIT 50 CFM Advantage Bath Fan Motor/Blade Kit
Overall Feedback:
96% positive
93% liked the adjustable speed feature, although 7% found it limited
I had to flip the motor mounts to the other side to make it mount to my old fan housing, indicating that the motor mounts are adjustable.
94% appreciated the sleek and modern design, while 6% thought it was unattractive
The new fan motor comes with a frame designed for newer style Air King fans.
I almost returned the fan because of the metal frame design, which did not allow me to plug in the light power plug. However, I was able to modify it by changing the metal frame and found it to be not that bad.
I am having difficulty installing the motor because the rounded section does not fit with my flat bracket.
I found it unnecessary and wasteful of time to unscrew everything to remove the steel panel that came with the product.

I took a risk and replaced the motor instead of finding a new fan to fit the opening. I had to install it creatively, but it worked out well. I hope the fan will last for a fraction of the 50 years it has been in the bathroom.

I installed the fan motor by unscrewing it from the plate, cutting the arms on the plate using tin shears, and then fastening it up in my existing ceiling box. The entire process took around 15 minutes.
