I am having trouble trying to get a new extractor fan working. The old fan needed replacing and was fitted in 2000 when the house was built. The old fan has two wires, both black going to a live and a neutral. The isolator switch is wall mounted and is inside the bathroom.
The new extractor fan has a timer and has 3 connections which are L,N and L1. The problem is I only have two wires, as explained, a red and a blue. I have tried the red in the L and then in the L1 and the blue always in the N but the fan does not work.
Do I need to remove the isolator switch to outside the room and also where can I run the third L or L1 wire from?
