Electrical – Help wiring Bathroom fan

ceiling-fanelectrical

I am not 100% sure how to wire my new bathroom fan, and I am looking for a little guidance. (This is for a NuTone QTN130LE1)

Here are the existing wires in the attic. I have a white wire, a black wire, and a ground.

Here is the wires for the unit:

There are taped into pairs

  • First pair is White and Black
  • Second pair is white and Blue
  • Third pair is White and Red
  • Fourth is ground.

And here is the wiring guide.

I am a little confused because of the red wire for the night light (Unit has 2 lights, a fan, and a night light) but I do not plan on using the night light if that makes a difference.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Best Answer

  • Connect the black wire from the ceiling, to the black and blue wires from the fan/light.

  • Connect the white wire from the ceiling, to the white/black and white/blue wires from the fan/light unit.

  • Connect all bare/green grounding conductors.

  • Cap the red and white/red wires from the fan/light unit.

When you're done, the switch will turn on both the light and fan at the same time.
