Hi all, Extractor fan has died, all writing checked so definitely the fan. Having £500 of work done by electrician next week (large towel rail and timer) and asked them to quote for a new fan at the same time. They have quoted an additional £180 to supply and fit (don't know parts or their...

Thank you 👍🏼

Thank you for all your replies guys. I actually have an electrician coming soon installing a towel rail in another bathroom, and replacing a panel heater. How much should I expect for them to quote to investigate, and fix one of the 3 likely scenarios?  I.e. quote for switch quote for new...

Hi people, Went in the bathroom this morning, flicked the isolation switch and the fan no longer comes on. I replaced the original, the switch broke and pinged off. Bought a basic one from Screwfix and it's been working fine for 18months. Is it likely to just be the switch that's broken, as...

Good shout! Thank you

That's for replies gents. It's a stud wall. No idea on wiring. I'm thinking of an IP24 digital electric radiator, 1.5-2kw

Hi all, I'm looking to get an electric heater installed on a wall but the power point will be slap in the way. I don't want to lose it, and I imagine it will be hard to move it to the right and will probably create a lot of mess. I have no idea how the wiring works, but would it be possible...

Because it's an ensuite, what I do is shower with the door very slightly open so there is air intake, then the fan has a 20 minute run on and I leave the door fully open. Seems to be working ok so far?

All sorted and working fine, thanks for all your help guys. I'd got the switched live out mixed up. Thanks again!!! Martin.

 Great advice special. The fan and innards were a mess. Working much better now after I cleaned it all up!

Here is a photo of the fan wiring. I am not able to look at wiring tonight as j have to go back out, but will look asap!

Great shout Ev, thank you. I will have a look later tonight, the fan wiring is easy to access, I will also put a picture up. Regards, Martin.

It's a relatively modern flat so i imagine electricians come in and do the jobs as quick as possible!

Thanks Special, Your last post was helpful too. I get the theory, I just find it difficult to tell what wire is what, how do I tell between a core&earth and a twin and earth? There is no flexibility and the wires won't put out any more so it's so awkward to get a better view.  The fact...

They were a mess when I pulled them out, couldn't get access to them, so labelled them but obv made a mistake somewhere. 1 of the L1 ins is black, with a brown sleeve... Martin.

Hi Dave, the top photo is the original, with some wires removed from the old plate.

Hi all, The switch popped off the other day, so picked up a replacement and rewired it (very difficult as no leeway with wires?!). I labelled the wires as I removed them, replaced like for like, but now the bathroom light only works when the fan is on. If I isolate, the light won't work. So...

Great advice chaps, thank you  :Applaud

Thanks Special, very helpful. The exact fan I have is here: Vortice 11976 ARIETT T Centrifugal Extractor Fan with Timer (For use with 100 mm / 4 Inch duct) https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00G974ZK4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_9rqUCb6FS4XAX Seems like a decent spec? I do not know how I would find out if...
