"I ordered this motor as a replacement for my EdgeStar IB120SS ice maker. I had heard mixed reviews about longevity, but it was easy to install and fixed the issue. Unfortunately, I noticed some squealing again after a couple of years. Now, I'm looking for a more durable ball bearing motor."

"I was looking for a replacement for my old bathroom fan, which was around 36 years old. I found this unit that almost perfectly fit my old setup, though I had to swap the sheet metal plate for the correct electrical fit. The installation was a simple mod, and I noticed a better draw, but it does make a bit more noise. After two months, it’s been running great!"

"I found the installation process to be incredibly quick and straightforward. It took me about three minutes from start to finish. After confirming my old fan was faulty, I unplugged it, unscrewed it, and pulled it down. The new fan went in just as easily. It's slightly louder than my previous fan, rated at 4.0 scones compared to 2.0, but I’m satisfied overall. I even got it in 'used, like new' condition for a lower price!"

"I installed this fan in my bathroom, and it fit perfectly into the opening. The installation only took five minutes, and it was ready to go right away. While it is a bit noisier than my last fan, it works great overall. I appreciate that it was an easy and quick fix for my needs."

"I have a 43-year-old Broan bathroom exhaust fan. After taking a chance, I was pleasantly surprised by how easy it was to install and that it fit perfectly.

"I replaced the vent fan motor due to a bearing failure. The new motor fits well and runs smoothly, with no vibrations. I’m ordering a second unit for quicker maintenance. I plan to clean the used motor and blades later, but for now, I’m set with the clean, ready-to-go components!"

"I had to modify a bit to install the fan in my bathroom, but it is definitely more powerful. I was missing a nut on one of the rods, but I used one from my old equipment. Overall, it’s a strong fan, and even though it’s louder, I consider that a good thing."

"This motor fit perfectly in my bathroom fan and was simple to replace the old one."

"I discovered that this motor is not the correct replacement for the Fasco 7163-5235, contrary to the website's claim. I ended up using the D1160 model instead, which was seamless to install. I'm returning the D120, but I accept the return shipping cost since the mistake isn't Amazon's fault."
