It was shipped quickly and I installed it same day it arrived.

Make sure you match up the wiring diagrams correctly so you don't fry anything.

I ordered and price is just perfect, even though with shipping, it is cheaper. The color code on the new item was little different, and I connected the new wires based on where they need to land vs similar colors together. Once I started the fan, it worked
