Recently the extractor fan in my bathroom stopped working properly after more than 10 years (it was making a whining noise/sounded like it was wearing out) so I bought exactly the same model to replace it.
I swapped the fans over - putting the live and neutral wires in the same terminals as the previous fan. However when I turned the power on the fan did not work. I thought that the new fan may be faulty so I took it back and got a replacement (same model). The same thing happened - no power. I ended up exchanging the fan 3 more times (the last time I bought a different model), but the same thing happens each time.
I have tried attaching a standard light bulb to the wires which works OK, (see pic).
The models of the fans i have tried are:

Any help would be appeciated.
