Unusual fan

[Sparkystu79]

Hi, has anyone seen an extractor fan like this before? Got called to look at a faulty one today but i've not come across one before and there was no manufacturers label. Was hoping to get some spare parts if the company still exist. Pictures aren't great i'm afraid.

It looks like a heat curtain rather than extraction to me.

It's just a radial fan, but, as M says it could be a heat curtain.

Same here , surely its a curtain heater . Get your head above the ceiling , got to be a maker's name.

I know, that's what it looks like but there is the same model in the kitchen which still works, the silver knob beside the pull cord slides to open and close the vent. There's no access above, it's a mid floor flat and as you can see its completely tiled round about it.

Those are suspended ceiling tiles aren't they? Pop one up and put your head up into the ceiling void for a look.

It's ceramic tiles, tiled right round the ingoes of the window

Id imagine you will have problems getting it out, never mind a new one in anyway looking at those tiles.

can you actually get it out?

if so, drop it down and get a name off it,

if you cant get it out,,,,,

well, nothing much more to say, but you wont be able to replace it anyway then, will you?

 

[Sparkystu79]

No it won't come out without some demolition work! Was hoping to get replacement parts as there is really not a lot to it, just the switch unit and the fan unit.

In that case Sparkystu I've never seen anything like it , and the way it was fitted was carp TBH ... un maintainable.
