I guess our fan is only making noise : /

Has anyone ever removed and tried to clean/fix?

If not, who did you call to fix?

thank you!
Related to this conversation: if you have replaced your roof recently. Check the connections on fans and dryer vent etc. These roofers are in a hurry and sometimes forget to reconnect the vent pipe.
