NuTone 695 Replacement Motor & Parts

The fan-only ceiling/wall fan: 70 CFM, 6.0 sones, and a motor — S99080255 — that is not the 696N motor it shares a housing with, and not the 688-family assembly resellers keep pushing at it. Get the right one first, because the wrong one bolts in and still isn't your fan.

The short answer

Plain NuTone 695, fan-only, 7½″ × 7¼″ housing: order motor S99080255 and replace the blower wheel S99020292 at the same time. Grille assembly S97017068 (sold as C350GN).

Flagged plainly: the 695 motor number comes from the manufacturer's own service-parts list (manual 1111062A) — and this run found no second independent listing for it. It is the manual's number, not a doubly-verified retail listing. If a search for it comes up empty, order through Broan-NuTone service parts rather than substituting a 696N or 688-family motor.

01 — 30-second fit check

Three questions. The first one — heater or no heater — decides whether this page even applies to you.

02 — Find your model number first

The 695's label is inside the housing, not on the grille.

Where to look

  1. Breaker OFF. Pull the grille straight down — it hangs on two torsion springs. Squeeze the springs together to free it.
  2. Look inside the metal housing for the specification label. It reads 695 (and, on some units, a suffix such as -R01/-R02 or a letter revision). Photograph it — the suffix is what separates a plain 695 from the B-unit and variant traps in §3.
  3. Measure the housing while you are there: the 695/696N box is about 7½″ × 7¼″ and 3⅝″ deep, with a 3″ round duct connector. If yours is 8″ wide, stop — you are in old-housing territory (§3, §5).
  4. Check for a heater. If there is a heating element and a light behind the grille, this is not the fan-only 695 in this guide — it is the old Broan 695/HFL695 combination unit (§3).

If the label is gone entirely, do not order on grille size alone. The grille (8¾″ × 9⅛″) is shared with the 696N, so a grille match proves nothing about the motor.

03 — Four traps that share this number or this housing

Every one of these has actually been sold to 695 owners as "the" part.

Trap 1 — The 696N sibling: same manual, same housing, different motor

The manufacturer's manual 1111062A lists the 695 and the 696N side by side. Same grille (S97017068), same motor plate (S98006791), same damper (S97016377) — but the 696N is a 50 CFM fan and takes motor S97012041 and wheel S99111002. The 695 is a 70 CFM fan and takes S99080255 / S99020292. Swapping them is not an upgrade or a downgrade you chose — it is the wrong motor for the wheel and plate pairing the manual specifies.

Trap 2 — The 695N-R B-unit and the S97012026 reseller claim

Resellers sell the 688-family assembly S97012026 (50 CFM, 2.0 sones) for "695N-R01 B / 695N-R02 B" units, and warn it does not fit a 695N without a suffix. The genuine Broan listing for S97012026 also names 695 among its models. Neither of those makes it the plain 695's part: the 695's own manual names S99080255. Verdict on this page: unresolved. If your label reads 695N-R01 B or 695N-R02 B, treat S97012026 as a lead to confirm against Broan, not a confirmed fit. If your label reads plain 695, order S99080255.

Trap 3 — The old Broan 695 heater/fan/light (HFL695): same number, different machine

An older Broan combination unit also carries the number 695, with a 1300W heater, a light, a heater motor (97017062), a fan motor (97009752) and its own wheels. Nothing on this page fits it. If your unit heats, you need that unit's parts list, not this one.

Trap 4 — The pre-1999 old 696N housing (8″ wide) and C350BNR

Genuine Broan's C350BNR assembly fits only the old 696N with an 8″ × 7¼″ housing made before 1999, and explicitly does not fit 696N-R01/R02/R03. It is not a 695 part at any housing size. An 8″-wide box means you are outside this guide's housing — measure before ordering anything here.

04 — Confirmed fits

From the manufacturer's service-parts list in manual 1111062A, unless a row says otherwise. "Manual-only" means this run found that number only in that manual — see §12.

S99080255

Motor for the NuTone 695

The number from the manufacturer's service-parts list. This run found no second retail listing for it, so it is flagged, not dressed up as doubly verified. Do not substitute the 696N motor if this one is hard to find — go through Broan-NuTone service parts.

S99020292

Blower wheel for the NuTone 695

Replace it with the motor. A worn wheel on a new motor is how a "fixed" fan stays noisy and unbalanced — the manual's own maintenance note says the same.

07 — Diagnose before you buy

SymptomMost likely causeWhat to do
Dead — nothing, no humNo power, loose plug, or dead motorCheck the breaker and the wall switch first. Then, breaker OFF, reseat the motor plug in the receptacle (S99271654). If power is present and the plug is seated, the motor is the suspect.
Hums but won't spin, or spins slowlySeized bearings or a dragging wheelBreaker OFF, spin the wheel by hand. If it drags or wobbles, replace motor + wheel together — oiling a permanently lubricated motor does not fix it.
Loud, rattling, or grindingWorn bearings, loose wheel, or debrisVacuum the wheel and housing (breaker OFF). If the noise survives cleaning, the manual's own rule applies: replace the blower assembly, not just the motor.
Weak airflow, mirror still fogsBlocked duct/damper, dirty wheel, or crushed ductCheck that the damper flap (S97016377) moves freely and the 3″ duct run is clear and vented outdoors. A new motor cannot fix a stuck damper.
Grille yellowed / cracked / won't stay upAged grille or tired springsGrille only: S97017068 / C350GN, or springs S99140187 (×2). No motor needed.
Smell of smoke, or the fan runs hotMotor failureBreaker OFF, leave it off, replace motor + wheel. Do not run it "to see if it clears."

08 — Repair, upgrade, or replace the whole fan?

🔧 Just fix it — this page's numbers

Motor S99080255 + wheel S99020292, keeping your housing, duct and grille. This is the right call when the housing is sound, the duct is clear, and you want the original 70 CFM back. Cost is a motor and a wheel, not a ceiling repair.

⬆ Upgrade it — quieter, but less air (read the trade-off)

All three manufacturer kits below fit a 695 only in the 7½″ × 7¼″ housing, and all three move less air than the original 70 CFM. You are trading airflow for quiet — worth it in a small bath, a bad trade in a bath that already struggles with moisture.

None of these kits adds a light or a heater, and none fixes a heater unit — see §3, Trap 3.

Replace the whole unit

When the housing is rusted, bent or the wrong size, the duct is crushed, or the unit turns out to be the heater combination model: replace the whole fan rather than forcing parts into the wrong box. A whole-unit swap is also the moment to move to a 4″-duct, lower-sone modern fan — but that is a new housing, new duct work and usually an electrician's job, not a motor swap.

09 — Swap it: tools & step-by-step

Tools — mercifully short list

The swap (per the 695 / 696N instruction manual 1111062A — breaker OFF first)

  1. Breaker OFF, and lock or tag it. Confirm the fan is dead before touching anything inside.
  2. Grille off: pull it down, squeeze the two torsion springs together, lift it free.
  3. Unplug the motor from its receptacle inside the housing.
  4. Motor plate out: push down on the rib in the plate while pulling out on the side of the housing — or insert a straight-blade screwdriver into the slot in the housing and twist. The plate, motor and wheel come out as a unit.
  5. Swap motor + wheel onto the plate (or fit the new plate assembly if that is how your part arrives). Keep the two #6-32 nuts (S99260428) — replace them if they are stripped.
  6. Plate back in: insert the two plate tabs into their slots, pivot up until the third tab snaps into its slot. Tabs must hold the plate securely.
  7. Plug the motor in, grille springs back into the plate slots, push the grille flush.
  8. Breaker ON, test: it should spin up quietly with no rattle. If it rattles, breaker OFF again and recheck the plate tabs and wheel seating before anything else.

Never oil this motor. It is permanently lubricated. Oil attracts dust, unbalances the wheel, and does not revive worn bearings — the manual says to replace the blower assembly when bearings get noisy.

10 — Maintenance: the one rule people break

Never oil this motor. Ever.

See §9. The second rule is almost as commonly broken: do not let construction dust, drywall spray or plaster get on the motor or wheel — the manual warns it damages bearings and unbalances the wheel. If you are doing ceiling work, cover the open housing.

Cleaning — twice a year is plenty

Breaker OFF, grille off, vacuum the interior with a dusting-brush attachment. Wash the grille with mild detergent, dry it fully, and never immerse metal or electrical parts in water. A clean wheel is a quiet wheel — most "dying fan" noise is dust before it is bearings.

11 — FAQ

Is the 695 the same as the 696N? No. Same housing, same grille, same manual — different fan. 695: 70 CFM, motor S99080255. 696N: 50 CFM, motor S97012041. The 696N gets its own page next in this site's queue.

Will the S97012026 assembly I see everywhere fit my 695? Not confirmed for a plain 695. It is the 688-family 50 CFM assembly; resellers tie it to 695N-R B-units specifically. See §3, Trap 2, and confirm against Broan before ordering it for anything but a B-unit label.

My fan has a heater. Is this my page? No — yours is the old Broan 695/HFL695 combination unit (§3, Trap 3). Its parts are different throughout.

Can I just replace the grille? Yes — C350GN / S97017068, 8¾″ × 9⅛″. If the fan itself runs fine, a grille is a five-minute job.

Will a 690NT or QK60 make my bathroom quieter? Yes — 3.0 and 2.5 sones against the original 6.0 — but both move 60 CFM against the original 70. In a bath at the edge of the 65 sq ft rating, keep the original motor instead.

Why can't I find S99080255 for sale easily? This run found no retail listing for it either — it is a service-parts number, not a mass retail SKU. Search the exact number, and if it comes up empty, order through Broan-NuTone service parts (800-558-1711) rather than substituting a look-alike motor.
