Its snap-in installation design allows for efficient field replacement without complex tools, ensuring a secure seat against the housing to eliminate housing vibration and rattle.

• Durable Construction: Fabricated from high-grade, corrosion-resistant plastic that stands up to humid bathroom environments and high-heat cycles.

What is the correct way to identify if the S97013836 is the right fit for my fan?
Technicians should verify the model number on the internal housing label. This replacement grille is the standard service part for the Broan 655, 657, and 696 series. If your existing cover is melted or discolored, this OEM part restores the original clearance for the heater and light assembly.

Are the mounting springs included with this grille?
This part number refers to the plastic grille cover only. If the original grille springs are lost or have lost their tension, they must be sourced separately to ensure the cover remains flush against the ceiling.

Does this grille work with light and heater versions?
Yes, the S97013836 is designed for fan/light/heater combination units. The rectangular geometry and heat-resistant material are specifically intended to handle the thermal output of the 657-C and similar high-output models.
