Notes

Radon fans run continuously, so bearing noise and motor wear are common failure modes. Repair is occasionally possible if the issue is wiring, mounting vibration, or a damper problem, but many fan/motor failures lead to full replacement.

Replace if the fan becomes loud, seizes, or airflow drops enough to impact system performance. Because radon mitigation is safety-related, prioritize stable operation over marginal savings, and verify system performance after any repair or replacement.
