Broan JA2M284 Ventilation Fan Motor

This is a Broan-NuTone replacement ventilation fan motor assembly, model JA2M284N (also listed as JA2M284 and JA2M284N) built for 120V operation in bathroom exhaust fans. It is widely cataloged as S97008584 and cross-references to Broan/Nutone fan parts such as 8253510510 and 7173-0243, making it a common direct-substitution option for units that previously used the JA2M284 family. The motor assembly is designed for 120V AC input and is frequently described in catalogs as a 1/30 horsepower unit, providing modest power suitable for compact bath fans. Typical performance notes report around 1,550 RPM and airflow in the ballpark of 160 CFM for compatible assemblies, helping to maintain effective ventilation in small-to-medium bathroom spaces. The JA2M284N replacement kit is intended for straightforward installation as a direct motor substitute, often available with a plug for plug-and-play wiring and compatibility with multiple NuTone/Broan models. By using a genuine replacement motor assembly, you preserve original venting characteristics and noise levels while restoring airflow and reliability in fans that share this cross-reference. Suitable applications include standard bathroom exhaust fans in residential settings where a compact, low-power motor is required, and where the original equipment lists JA2M284N or S-7473E as the compatible motor assembly.
