When an industrial motor repair comes up, the real question isn't which replacement looks better on paper. You need a replacement unit that works with the electrical setup you already have and stays inside the budget for the job. This head-to-head looks at two motors: the D1092 OEM Direct Replacement Motor and the Broan-Nutone 99080483 Replacement Motor. They sit at opposite ends of a 27% price spread, with the D1092 on the lower side. One gives you more electrical detail up front; the other gives you a more complete identity from a named OEM.
Quick Verdict
If the decision came down to one sentence, it would be this: choose the D1092 when you want to spend less and you already know what your motor needs. Choose the Broan-Nutone 99080483 when you want a replacement from Broan-Nutone with a model number you can match. The D1092 is the lower-priced motor, and the Broan-Nutone is the higher-priced but more fully identified motor.

Where Each Product Wins
- The D1092 wins when your main concern is the price tag. It carries the lower listed price in this pair and still gives you a motor with a defined model number.
- The Broan-Nutone 99080483 wins when you want the replacement part to come from Broan-Nutone and you prefer a listing that gives you more product identification.
Product Notes
D1092 OEM Direct Replacement Motor
The D1092 is the lower-priced route in this head-to-head, and it puts the electrical details right in the title. It's a new motor rated at 1/3 HP with two speed steps: 1675 RPM and 1080 RPM, and it runs on 115V. The listing also says "NBK replaces Fasco," which gives you a quick reference if your old motor is a Fasco unit. That combination makes it an easy pick for a 115V application where you know the speed and voltage you need. The limitation is that the motor is locked to that 115V input; if your equipment runs on a different voltage, you'll have to look elsewhere. For a buyer who already knows the electrical side of the job, the D1092 is the more economical choice.
Broan-Nutone 99080483 Replacement Motor
The Broan-Nutone 99080483 is the higher-priced motor in this comparison, but it arrives with a clearer identity. It's specifically called an OEM replacement motor, and it's tied to the Broan-Nutone name, the model number 99080483, and a length of 6.8 inches with a depth of 6.4 inches. Those dimensions give you actual numbers to compare against the space your old motor occupied. If you want the motor to come from the same brand as the original equipment, this listing makes that connection easy. The trade-off is the price: it's $31 more than the D1092, and that higher cost is the main reason to pause. When brand and dimensions matter more than the lowest possible price, this is the motor to choose.
Final Choice by Use Case
Pick the D1092 if your priority is a lower upfront cost and the electrical details above match what you need. Pick the Broan-Nutone 99080483 if you want a Broan-Nutone OEM replacement and are comfortable paying more for the extra product identification. The final call comes down to cost versus the level of product identification you need.
