Bathroom fan motor BVD0218-00 question.
When I push up against the bottom of our Ventline BVD0218-00 motor (one finger thru the screen) the bathroom fan starts to turn. Does this mean the motor is still good and there's only a poor connect...

I've got to agree that you will need to remove the motor and fan blade and see if you can use a pen oiler to place a drop of oil on the bushings. Many of the motors have concealed bushings so replacement is most likely what you will need to do. The cost for the motor is about $34 US. It is not likely that touching the motor or turning the blade would fix a bad connection. The odds are it is a dry bussing in the motor. So good luck and keep warm.
That or you could replace it with a better unit at only about twice the cost of the motor that moves a lot more air.
