Dear all,
I am new here to ask for advise, please.
My problem is the following:
In the apartment is a strange extractor fan and its motor is build in a wall between two rooms. It is not possible to see it and to get close to it.
However, it extracts air from the bathroom and from the kitchen.
It runs really all the time. I have lived here for almost a year and it never stopped running. Always same speed. This is why it was decided to switch it off in the evenings and back on in the mornings as it is so noisy in my room. I can hear the motor through the wall making a constant loud noise. Bsssssssssssss and so on.
The usual procedure after switching on is that the fan starts to accelerate, stops, makes a new acceleration and continuous running all the day.
Today is one of the days where it has decided to stop working. This means the switch is on, but it does not start to run, even if there is humidity or light in the bathroom. (Usually it does not care about these two things as it runs always which I am also not able to understand.)
When you switch the switch off and on, you can hear the fan starting to accelerate, but then it stops. In the past the fan exhibited this behaviour for 1-2 days and went back to normal business afterwards.
It is so strange. There is no manual and none of the other house mates does know anything about the fan. As I like to know the reason why it does not usually react on humidity neither on light in the bathroom and runs constantly, I would also like to know what triggers the strange behaviour of the fan.
Thank you very much for any advise.
Kind Regards,
B.
