Replacement motors are not one-size-fits-all. The motor that fixes a bathroom vent fan will not spin a Bridgeport-type mill, and the mill motor carries a far higher listed price. Your job is to match the motor to the machine before you compare cost. The four motors here range from USD 22.99 to USD 1,499.99, and each serves a different purpose.
Quick take
If your fan is a Broan Nutone 688-K, the replacement motor named for that model is the most direct path. If you have an import Bridgeport-type mill, the 3HP three-phase VSM3 is the heavy-duty choice. If you need an OEM-style part-number match for a Broan motor, the 99080483 is worth a look. If you're working on a small fan or trimmer and want a low-cost 60W induction motor, the YYF96-60-6 fits that use.

Product notes
Broan-Nutone 99080483 Replacement Motor
The Broan-Nutone 99080483 is identified by the manufacturer brand and the OEM-style part number, so it's the motor to consider when your current unit is already a 99080483. The listed dimensions of 6.4 by 6.8 inches give you a quick physical reference. The trade-off is that this listing is for the motor only, while the 688-K replacement in this guide also includes a fan blade. And with a listed price well above the two small fan/trimmer motors, you're paying for a part-number-specific, manufacturer-branded replacement. If you need a drop-in replacement and the 99080483 is the number on your old motor, this is the clean route.
Replacement motor for Broan Nutone Bathroom Ventilation Fan 688-K 50 CFM
If your fan is a Broan Nutone 688-K, this motor names your model. The description says the new motor ships with the fan blade, so you can remove the old blower plate, undo the two nuts, and swap the assembly. It's also the lowest listed price in this set, which makes it an easy first stop for a 688-K owner. The limitation is fit: it's built for the 688-K 120V 0.7A application, so if your housing is a different Broan Nutone model, this replacement is not the one to choose. For that specific fan, though, it gives you a motor and blade in one low-priced package.
REPLACEMENT MOTOR for Bridgeport type IMPORT MILL 3HP 3PH variable speed VSM3
This is the heavy-duty motor in the group. It's a new 3HP three-phase variable-speed motor for import Bridgeport-type milling machines, and the description says the drum switch and pulleys are included. The frame is 100L with 220/440V wiring, and it comes wired for 220 three-phase. Before committing, you need to compare your bolt-hole pattern and the 6-inch shaft length. The clear limitation is the listed price: it's the most expensive motor here by a wide margin, so it only makes sense when you have a milling-machine application that needs this level of power. If your mill head matches those specs, this is a direct replacement-style option.
YYF96-60-6 60watt 110V 60hz 1.0A Replacement Electric Motor For Fan Or Trimmer
The YYF96-60-6 is a 60W, 110V, 60Hz induction motor rated at 1.0A, and the description positions it as a replacement for fans or trimmers. The model number and the six-wire configuration are the main identifiers. Its advantage is the low listed price, which makes it an affordable experiment for a small motor project. The limitation is that the application is broad rather than specific: the description lists the electrical ratings and points to pictures for measurements, so you'll need to match the wiring and mounting to your existing fan or trimmer. If your project fits those specs, it's a cost-conscious way to get a motor.
Final recommendation
- For a Broan Nutone 688-K bath fan, pick the Replacement motor for Broan Nutone Bathroom Ventilation Fan 688-K 50 CFM. It's the only one here that names the 688-K and includes a fan blade.
- For an OEM-style Broan part-number match, pick the Broan-Nutone 99080483 if your motor is already that model.
- For an import Bridgeport-type mill, pick the VSM3 3HP three-phase motor if your mill head and bolt pattern match the listed specs.
- For a small fan or trimmer on a tight budget, pick the YYF96-60-6 60W 110V 60Hz motor.
Price matters, but compatibility matters more. Match the motor to the machine, then let the listed price guide your final call.
