extractor fan

Hi, looking for some advice. My bathroom light tripped one of the two RCDs and when I reset it I noticed the light (4 LED downlights actually) flickering when the switch is in the off position but only if extractor fan switch is on. The extractor fan usually runs whenever the lights are on...

We live in a 1930s house and have a walk-in shower in the bathroom with a double window. The current extractor fan is installed on the wall adjacent to the shower, and we usually keep the window open while showering. Despite this, we experience a lot of condensation, which has led to mould...

Hello, in our utility room we have ventilation holes above the boiler, but are thinking of putting in an extractor fan in this same place to get better ventilation. Externally the outlets (flue and fan) will be more than 30cm apart. However is this arrangement ok internally - i.e. installing the...

hi I have recently noticed a lot of water droplets in the loft mostly directly under the bathroom as well as mould near soffit vents when opening bathroom window. anyone know the cause of this ? can it be that the hot steam when showering having window open is traveling straight through...

I bought a new extractor fan to replace my old broken one. The old one takes L, SL and N and the new one only takes L and N. I have two questions: - Can I just use the SL and N and terminate the L and have the fan work in tandem with the light switch, with no timer? Or do I need to loop...

Hey all, I have a Vortice Vort Leto MEV (I believe it's this one) that I'm having trouble with. When it's turned on, the fan quickly starts making a noise as if something is stuck in it, here's a video: Soon after, it just stops working, presumably the circuit board turns it off due to the...

Hi all. My bathroom extractor stopped working. It had an inbuilt light which worked but the fan itself doesn't. I have bought a direct replacement. 2 connection for the light and 3 for the fan, L,LN & N. When I took the old fan out I had 2 white wires connected to the light and 2 black wires...

Hi everyone! I’m replacing a broken extractor fan. It has three wires - T, N and L I understand this is because the old fan had a timer. My new fan only has N and L as it doesn’t have a timer. Do I need to: A) Put the mains N to the fan N and mains L to fan L, THEN put the mains T wire in...

Hi all My en suite (right of picture) is completely ‘internal’ - there’s no exterior walls. It’s right in the middle of my flat, and has zero ventilation. It’s a period conversion, I’m on the ground floor and there’s 2 flats above me, so venting ‘upwards’ isn’t an option. The closest...

Hi all, the inline extractor fan in my shower recently gave up and I have now removed it and I strongly suspect it was installed when the house was built ~30yrs ago. Any thoughts on a suitable one-for-one replacement? Lablel picture attached and it is on the same switch as the shower light...

Hi My cooker extractor motor has started either making a screeching noise on start up or humming and not running , both go away and it starts working normally after about a minute. I've took the motor off as I wasn't sure if there was a capacitor on it that was failing or if it was getting...

We get a terrible draught through our kitchen extractor which vents outdoors. We have tried various back-draught flaps in the duct and hoods on the outside, but to no real avail. In all cases, the wind blowing past the outlet on the wall seems to pull the flaps open and let in a draught at the...

I had a new bathroom fitted about 18 months ago and had a new radiator and extractor fan fitted. The fan is about 150mm above the tall radiator/towel rail. I was never convinced that the bathroom warmed up very well and when my wife voiced the same opinion recently I realised that this was...

Hi all, So I installed a Manrose MF100T Inline Extractor Fan (bought from Amazon) in our main bathroom last year but it's never really done much to help with the condensation literally running down the walls. I've tried playing around with the ducting (swapping from flexi to rigid, 45° bends...

Hello, I've installed a Monsoon Extractor Fan kit today, all is up and running and everything is working with the exception of the LED. When I switch my lights on the other bathroom lights are working fine but the LED supplied with the fan is pulsing like a slow strobe. If you fiddle with the...

Hello. Was wondering if anyone can help. Just had bathroom done and the fitter installed an inline Osily extractor which, quite frankly, is useless! So I've replaced it with a Manrose MF100T which is far better. However, the Osily has a N, L and LT connection. The Manrose has a N, L and LS...

I'm wanting to fit a manrose mf100s extractor fan in a new bathroom but have it activate from a occupancy sensor. I know that manrose make one but at £100 it's a bit too expensive. Would something like this work instead 360° Ceiling Flush Mount PIR Occupancy Switch?

Hi folks, The extractor fan for my en-suite has died, which has surprised me a touch, as the property was a new build when I moved in about three and a half years ago, and it's not had nearly as much use as the extractor fan above the main bathroom. The fan is situated in the loft above the...

Hello again, everyone. It's been a while, but I have my next project that I would appreciate some input, please. Background: - First floor flat, with access to loft space. - Internal shower room with no window, no external walls. - Existing Manrose extractor fan is located in the ceiling above...
