Rattle in side in Broan 502/503 discharge fan

We are installing a Broan 502/503 side discharge fan and it rattles when the fan is turned on. All fittings are tight, and when we put some pressure on different parts of the fan housing - the rattle continues unchanged, so we believe it is the damper that rattles How can we get this rattle to stop?
Thanks!

SOURCE: Rattleing noise when either oven is turned on

It could be a loose screw that has fallen from inside your back panel.... Be sure to turn off all power sorces before you access the panel to avoid electrical shock!

SOURCE: Damper need for Broan Range Hood

I called tech support at Broan and was told they recommend two dampers in cold climates ...one at in the wall cap and one on the unit. They make the damper,
(#BP87-7"), that attaches to the round duct plate that comes with the hood. Strangely the unit does not include a round damper and the seller LOWES did not have it, also checked Home Depot,.
The Tech said they can't get stores to stock it. I checked at a local supplier of all kinds of plumbing, heating, and cooling supplies and they only had basic 7" dampers which, I was told would probably be too heavy, and be manual. I ordered it through Amazon/True Value ($11.56 w/ shipping, shipping more than cost of damper). Tech indicated that the 2nd (unit damper) is optional and may not be needed if in a warm climate. I would suggest that Broan include the $5.00 item in their unit or at least sellers stock it.

SOURCE: Every time the compressor comes on something starts to rattle loudly in the housing. I can stop the rattle by pressing down on the sleeve but this is not a practical solution. Any suggestions?

Something is obviously loose. It may be the fan. See this diagnostic article on this topic:

Hope this helps.

How to repair exhaust fan rattle?

You can look at fan closely and see if there is a set screw holding the fan to the shaft. It could be loose causing the rattle. If that is not the problem then see if the shaft has a lot of play in it. It could be worn out and allowing the fan to rattle. If that is the case then replace the fan

New Broan fan rattles

I would take it back for exchange...
($159... is high end pricy... Amazon = $168 (worse)).

Old ... tired fans can dry out... gather dust.

Their life can be significantly extended with
fresh lube... As for me...
I've learned to just find & buy a NEW MOTOR.

But a new FAN... Outrageous!

Take it back
... Broan-NuTone Nutone Is a QUALITY
FAN... Expect quality.

Freezer fan noise rattle

If the fan bearing is not worn, which would cause the fan blades to wobble and create noise, the problem is with the sheet metal mounting plate being loose and rattling.

In mine, I just slightly bent the plate on the side that has the mounting screws. When installed, this will help apply pressure against the bottom of the mounting plate to secure it in position and not rattle when running.
