Whisper Flex 2 Rear Grille Black: Replacement Guide

Quick answer

You can replace the rear grille on your Duux Whisper Flex 2 fan in about 5 minutes. This guide walks you through removing the old grille, fitting the new Rear Grille Whisper Flex 2 (Smart) Black, and reattaching the front grille.

How to replace the rear grille

1. Remove the front grille: The front grille is typically held in place by a locking ring or clips. Rotate the locking ring counterclockwise to release it, then lift the front grille away from the fan. Set it aside. Common mistake: Forgetting to unplug the fan before starting. Always disconnect the power first.
2. Remove the fan blade: The fan blade is attached to the motor shaft by a small screw or a press-fit cap. If there is a screw, turn it counterclockwise with a suitable screwdriver. If it is a cap, pull it straight off. Slide the blade off the shaft. Checkpoint: Keep the screw or cap in a safe place; you will need it to reattach the blade later.
3. Remove the old rear grille: The rear grille is usually secured by a large plastic nut or a locking ring behind the blade. Turn this nut counterclockwise to release the grille. Pull the grille straight off the motor housing. Common mistake: Forcing the grille if it feels stuck. Check for any remaining screws or clips.
4. Fit the new rear grille: Align the new Rear Grille Whisper Flex 2 (Smart) Black with the mounting points on the motor housing. Press it into place, ensuring it sits flush. Secure it by tightening the large plastic nut clockwise until it is snug. Do not overtighten. Checkpoint: The grille should rotate slightly if not fully seated. Adjust until it sits flat.
5. Reattach the fan blade and front grille: Slide the fan blade back onto the motor shaft. Secure it with the screw or cap you removed earlier. Place the front grille over the blade and lock it in place by rotating the locking ring clockwise. Final check: Rotate the blade by hand to ensure it spins freely without rubbing against the grilles.
