bathroom fan wont work? need help please

[sonik1]

hi , been trying to wire up this little 4" bathroom fan , and cant seem to get it to work , i have even changed it in the shop thinking it was faulty , but it still dont work ? i have tryed different wire and fuses but still no joy , heres a pic of the fan and my wiring to see if i have done anything wrong ,,

thanks for any help in advance ,

ps its a timer fan but i dont want to use the timer , so i assume i can just bypass the timer bit , ?? as shown in the first diagram on instructions(see pic)

this really puzzling me , could it be a second faulty fan ?

Looks like that diagram isn't intended for the model of fan you are using, link the live terminal to the SL terminal, and while you are at it, cut back and remake those connections into the fan, they are ****ing terrible, and earth into a piece of connector strip please, not just left loose

If its the timer version, you may have to loop the live to the switched live connection.

Why does it have a 13amp plug on it? It should be run via an isolator and fused connection unit.

That's not a diagram for bypassing the timer - that's a diagram for a fan which doesn't have a timed overrun (and would have been cheaper to buy.. ). As the others have said, you need to link L & SL.

Yes it is - the bottom left one.

link the live terminal to the SL terminal, and while you are at it, cut back and remake those connections into the fan, they are **** terrible, and earth into a piece of connector strip please, not just left loose

And replace the plugtop fuse - you've still got the 13A in there - should be 3A.

Not sure the whole flex connection thing isn't a bodge - I can't see a proper cord grip...?
