Our bathroom has an extractor fan which is connected to the light switch, so when you turn the light on/off, the fan goes on/off.
It works fine for getting steam out, but it lets so much cold air in. It’s literally like having a hole to the outside in the bathroom. You can feel the wind coming through it. I am completely incompetent with electrics and when I took the cover off to see if I could figure out what was going on, the first thing you see is all of the wiring, so I stopped and put it back. I thought I might be able to source a backdraft damper and fit it but I have no idea. I’m happy to get someone in to fix it, but my issue is, who do I ask? Surely not an electrician because like I said, it works fine, it’s like there’s a missing part. I don’t want to have to replace the whole thing but if I have to them fine. I just need to know if there is a correct tradesperson to contact about a fix or do we just need a new one?
