As to not hijack one of the other fan threads I'll start this one to tell of my fan woes. Installed the stove and fan. Used it a couple times and all was well. Sitting in front of it one day it started making a really terrible noise and the fan slowed way down. Scared me pretty bad. Jumped up and turned the fan off for a couple days until I could let the stove cool down. Mine is a corner install an difficult to get to the fan. Had wife leaning over one side and I over the other. Took one screw out of her side then let her hold her side up while I took my side loose. We started to let it down when she says "maybe this has something to do with it". She pulled the 1/2" drill bit out of it. Put it back together and all is well.

I, I mean the installer was wondering where that drill bit went. 8-/
