This is a long time coming. Back in March 2006 I opened a topic stating that I was getting pools of condensation in my bathroom vent fan. The fan in question was a Panasonic FV 11VQL3 110 CFM. I tried insulation aroung the vent pipe - didn't work. Insulation around fan - didn't work; removed the dampener (flappy thing that does not allow air to travel back in fan) - didn't work. Finally I took the fan in the Warranty Shop and they said the Squirrel Cage and motor had to be replaced. I had high hopes. 3 MONTHS later (due to back order of parts) I got the fan back installed it and.... same problem.
I called REWilliams.com and they are going to take the fan back. They were pretty understanding and have a good policy on defective products.
So overall I wanted to say thanks to the people that responded to the original posting "Condensation inside bathrrom vent fan" and say I am getting a new fan from Home Depot. Hopefully this one will work. Heck I might find out that my home has some sort of moisture/venting issue. Funny thing about this whole experience is that I learned more about ventalation and fans that I would really care to know.
Also as far as the Panasonic fan, I hear good things about it. Just cause this one fan did not work for me I am not writing them off. If there was a place that sold them for 100 bucks like REWilliams.com I would try another one but all these fan places sell them for $175.
