    What can I use to replace 20A DP switch outside bathroom

    I did the sound test you suggested, listening to the sound of the extractor fan with the switch on and off and there was no difference at all. I'll be disconnecting L1 and seeing what works and then reconnect that and then disconnect N1 and see what works with that. Thanks all for the advice...
