Bathroom Fan driving me nuts

Umy786 · 17 Jun 2019

Hi guys

I've wired up my bathroom Fan and initially it was working beautifully, shortly after I switched off the mains to screw it all back together and now it won't turn on!

I get a short pulse of the red light and then nothing.

Can someone please tell me what I've done wrong??

Thank you

Full pic of Fan

I don't know if you've reconnected the cable between the photos, but in the 'full' picture, I can see some bare copper on the SL and N. This may indicate a loose or unmade connection.

Yes. All has been reconnected but still the same. It seems it's something to do with those 6 pins at the bottom of the 'full pic' because when I touch them with a screwdriver I seem to get some movement of the blades and some life back into the Fan

Didn't see replies.

Btw on the fan it doesn't have 'SL'.

It has N L & LT

Umy786 · 17 Jun 2019

Not sure if you can make that out

SL = LT (Live to timer)

Problem is either with the fan of the cabling to it, so...

Does the fan work if you you connect both the LT and L terminals to the permanent live feed?

Can you verify 240V between L/LT and N? (You'll need a multimeter)
