Hi, this is my first post.
I had a short circuit in the extraction fan in the bathroom. Upon inspection I noticed that there was a lot of water in the enclosure. After further investigation I found that there was water in the duct due to condensation and this water probably dripped back. However I did not expect for the fan to fail so dangerously in this situation. Please look at the picture of the fan and notice a hole in the casing. When water comes from the duct it goes into this hole and inside of enclosure. The fan has rating IPX4. Do you think this is a design fault of this fan? Should I contact the manufacturer? Thank you.
Here is a picture of the fan. I circled the hole. The water comes from the top
