Do any Bathroom Exhaust fans have filters? Mine was noisy so I thought the motor had bad bearings. I opened it up, and was shocked with the amount of dirt in there. The fan blades were so loaded with dirt, it's no wonder they were noisy. Since I could not get the vacuum cleaner up past the blades, I removed the whole fan, and ended up just tossing it in a bucket of water and washing all of it. Of course, I'm letting that shaded pole motor completely dry before I use it. Tomorrow I have to go and see if I can buy a vacuum cleaner hose extension pipe to get all the way up to the roof. (Or I'll just duct tape a piece of PVC pipe on the hose). Anyhow, how come they dont put filters on those fans? (Or do some of them come with filters?) Now, if I could figure out where all that dirt comes from..... Especially since I seldom use that fan, except on real hot days in summer to get some of the heat out of the house. (or once a year when I do a big stinky)....

Yep. Cancel this newsgroup. Can you discuss poincare conjecture? No?
