Feb 18, 2024 update:
I had good luck ordering the replacement unit I needed from:
I was happy will all aspects of their service and I would go with them next time.
Our laundry room fan stopped working. We went to a big box store to see if they had a replacement part/unit.
In the old days, things would be fixed or repaired. Today, the idea is to throw it away and start over as if the unit had never been installed to begin with.
We arrived at a big display of bathroom fans. Buttons were being pushed to sample fan features. Exhaust fan units today come with lights, a sound system and the ability to speak to a machine and ask it to play music or order items for the bathroom. All of this was being demonstrated at the store display.
I said out loud:
Alexa,
Take me back to 1975 and leave me there.
