Broan S101183000 Damper

The Broan S101183000 Damper has received a mixed reception from its users, primarily due to its redesigned damper flap, which does not function as effectively as expected. Users have noted that the new design retains extra weight, causing the flap to remain open when the adapter is installed in the horizontal orientation, a significant issue for those concerned about air leakage into their homes. This aspect has sparked frustration among customers, many of whom have been compelled to modify the damper or revert to their old flaps to achieve proper closure. While some customers commend Broan/Nutone's customer service after receiving clarification on the design modifications, others expressed disappointment in their lack of responsiveness initially. Despite these challenges, several users have attempted DIY solutions to improve functionality, indicating a certain level of resilience and willingness to work with the product rather than abandon it outright. Overall, the product appears to be suitable for older Broan and Nutone bath fans in terms of fit, yet its design shortcomings regarding the damper flap have led to Considerable dissatisfaction. Potential buyers should weigh these factors carefully, especially if they require a reliable damper to prevent unwanted air and pests from entering their living spaces. **
