  The one I replaced it with I found in a Digi-Key catalog.
It's a Panasonic model FBH-08A, Digi-Key #P9962-ND.  Cost is $24 for
quantity one.

  No idea, but the one I installed moves 20.5 CFM and is rated at 22 dB.

  Probably, so wait 'til the 90 days are up and then do it.  My original
fan lasted 10 months before it got so out of balance that you could hear
it anywhere in the house!
