My wetroom fan packed in the other week (it's an Airflow Icon) and, having checked for loose connections etc (none), I've ordered a replacement ... re-fix to ceiling ... reconnect L&N ... job done.
But this led me to thinking that I'm a bit of a 'tyre-kicker' when it comes to understanding/checking a piece of equipment to establish the likely cause or source of the failure.
If anyone has the time or patience to attempt to explain to me the checks a 'real' electrician would make using, for example, a multimeter I'd appreciate it. (My DMM [Clarke] gathers dust on a shelf after convincing the missus I really, really needed one).
I'm just curious - the old fan deserves to have an autopsy imo before being consigned to landfill.
