Hi, our Vortice bathroom extractor fan has decided to pack up with the motor dieing on us and constantly squealing when in use.
I got this fan - Vortice M 10/4T - as it was what I thought the same as already up.
However, after taking down the old one we discovered that it was the old option without the timer circuit board and with only the live and neutral wire connections going straight to the fan motor and not to the circuit board as in the timer model.
As for the wire feed through the tiled bathroom wall, that too has only the red and black l and n feeds so no option for the timer sl feed.
So, does anybody know of a way that I can connect this timer fan up to the two wires so that it still works, don't need the timer function, but as Vortice don't make that particular model anymore we have no choice but to use the timer fan model.
Could I simply use the current live wire for the timer feed and leave the main live connection empty or would I still need a perm live and a switched live for both feeds? Or could I remove the timer feed and circuit board
Thanks if anybody can help, seeing as bathroom is all tiled and wires are in wall, we don't really want to have to rewire bathroom for the extra connection needed for the timer feed.
