Broan-NuTone 194 High Capacity Wall Heater, White Painted Grille, 3000/1500 Watt 240 VAC, Covers 300 sq. ft. at Factory Wired Voltage

Thus unit was awesome! Fit right where we had an older unit didn't have to change the wall at all where it went because it was so much like the older version. Only problem we had was the fan is not cut and installed in the unit the best. When turning on it tends to tap the housing some making it a little loud but when you need heat and its already installed you deal with it.

Works like the one that went bad but make a tinging sound when cooling off. I wonder if they used cheap China metal

The first few times I used it after installation,it tripped its own reset after a few minutes.Youre supposed to have to remove the grill but I stuck a knifeblade in and pushed it back in.But finally it stayed reset.There's a half wattage setting you can use by removing a jumper and having only one element instead of 2,but the one element requires 240v,so you have to leave both line circuits intact.I used 12/2 w ground to install,with an AC fused disconnect.On to the fan noise issue.When the fan is new it is quiet.But it grows louder in a month and sounds like it is about to fail.One problem is that the motor is too heavy not to be supported at both front and rear,so it only has 2 little nuts holding it to the rear and they must be TIGHT.There is nothing in the front and it wobbles about reverberating its woes to the entire assembly.Another issue is end play or runout.I did this:Remove power,remove knob,then grill,remove fan from motor by pulling it forward,it is a friction fit.Remove 4 screws at corners of unit being careful not to let it fall out of wall insert..I propped the unit up at the bottom,but it's best to disconnect the wires(is power off?)and place on a bench.Remove the 2 mounting nuts from the fan motor,let the fan motor down to rest without pulling hard on the wires.Using a T15 torx bit remove the 2 motor thru bolts,then remove the front and rear bearing from the shaft,taking care not to lose the 2 tiny thrust washers on front and rear.Dab a little smidgin of automotive grease into the rear bearing with a toothpick to cushion the end play.Put a drop of light oil(remington gun oil?,sewing machine oil?)on each end of shaft and reassemble.When you get back to putting the motor into the unit,be sure the nuts are good and tight.When I got my heater back together it was nice and quiet again.

Worked great. We installed to replace the same model 194 unit that had failed. Really kicks out the heat in our 200 sf room. Easy installation.

I bought this heater to replace one that was 15 years old. The old one had the thermostat go out and it just ran nonstop. Rather than throwing parts at it, I just ordered a new one. This unit puts out good heat. It is a bit loud, but it is just the fan sound. The thermostat seems to call for heat more than I would like even on low, all in all it is a good product that does what it is supposed to.

Works great

Noisy fan. It was ok in the beginning but started making a noise within a month of it's use. It sounds like the fan bearing is going out. I cannot return it because it's already installed in a wall. I guess it's ok if you do not mind the fan bearing noise. If its for your bedroom, forgettaboutit.

Remodeling house. Heater was installed in April . Was used first in July. It will not go on most of the time. The switch is defective. The box has long been discarded. How do I get this replaced. Love it when it works. Truly heats the whole bathroom. Please give guidance. Where will I see an answer?

This Heater was purchased to replace an old model #194 that had served us well for over twenty+ years. Dimensions are the same, so the new unit fit directly into the framed wall opening without any cutting or drywall repairs required ...like a hand in a glove. The problem is the new heater frame, fan mount and in-wall box all vibrate when the fan is running, creating Excessive NOISE! I have spent many frustrating hours adding vibration isolators at various locations to reduce the ensuing 'rattle' when the heater is running. More attention to quality manufacturing would have eliminated this problem ...but it does heat very well.

Just found out with the mechanical engineer, this product should not be selling to canada. Bought 6 units, two of them are not working.
