fan

The Manrose XF100PIR 4 Inch Toilet Extractor Fan with PIR I fitted in a downstairs loo starts for no reason in the evenings, sometimes three times, sometimes not at all, but usually at least once. Nothing in the room moves (towels, mirrors, gloss paint, all been checked). The isolator switch is...

Hi I am installing an extractor fan that has a built-in humidstat and timer. I ordered a '10A 3 Pole Fan Isolator Switch with 3A Fuse' to combine having both a fan isolator switch and a FCU. Has anyone wired one of these up before or would they have a good idea how to do it? It's more the 'L...

So I've bought an inline duct fan (http://www.solerpalau.co.uk/td-250-100-silent-230-240v-50-60.html) that needs to come on when the kitchen lights are on. The issue I'm having is that it also needs to come on when a humidity sensor...

I want to install an extraction vent in the ceiling of the shower cubicle: Is this a done thing/recommended in general? If I use an inline extractor fan which is installed in the loft as shown above, does this count as a non-classified area (DIY fair game)? Are there any kits for this type...

I'm replacing an inline extractor fan with the exact same model with a timer function but I'm having trouble understanding the wiring diagram. I've removed the wires from the old fan and got the new one ready but I'm struggling to understand what to do next. The previous wiring setup was shown...

Hi, Before I ask anything at all, I am just going to start off with a disclaimer that I will not be undertaking any electrical work myself, I am just looking for general advice. I've lived on the top floor of a purpose built 4 storey apartment block for a few years now. Up until a couple of...

What is the supply to an extractor, is it just taken from the lighting, extended in line from the light and operated via the bathroom light switch?

I have a faulty obsolete (20yr old) oven thermostat incorporating a separate oven fan/light switch tab. Can't find a 'universal' replacement. If I fit a standard 2 tab thermostat, and connect the fan and light, they will switch on and off with the element which is not ideal. I have a Stoves...

Hello all, first post here so be gentle with me! I am the (not so) proud owner of an archaic WORCESTER 28CDI combi. Around Xmas time the boiler made some horrible loud grinding noises and then gave up completely, RGI came round and diagnosed the fan. Brand new fan fitted and then the boiler...

Hi, Just had my bathroom fitted out this week and we had an Airflow Icon 30S (12v IPX4) fitted above the shower head. However, the electrician is pulling his hair out as despite checking the wiring on several occasions, and there been a green light on the transformer of the icon unit when you...

Hi guys Today I started hearing a knocking every 1 second from my oven. After about 5 minutes that stopped but the oven is now considerably quieter and I'm sure one of the fans is now no longer working. The rear one that I can see is working however. How do I accurately find out which? IF you...

Hi, A couple of days ago, I was using my CDA oven when the electricity tripped a couple of times. It was the oven that caused this as whilst it will switch on and the little pilot light shows, it no longer produces any heat. The grill still seems to be working though. The fan also appears to...

Hi, Have bought a house and inherited a Vaillant EcoMax 835/2 boiler, about 10 years old. Seemed to be working at first. However it started to give f25 faults and now alternates between f25 and f32. You can clear the fault and then it might work, but sometimes it takes 3/4 attempts. When set...

Hi All, New to this forum but wanted to share ... My 10 year old Vokera (28 HE model) immediately blows its internal fuse when power is connected to it. If you have the same problem you may be scratching your head wondering where the problem is. In my case, it turns out to be a faulty fan and...

Does anyone know of a domestic twin hose portable aircon unit that is available in the UK. I have only found twin hose units for the north american market. By twin hose; I mean one house for external intake and one for external outtake, thus not causing a negative pressure potential in the room...

Hello all, I have a Silavent May 202 fan in my bathroom. It was there when I bought the house 3 years ago. The house was built in 1985. Not sure how long its been in there. Its stopped working when you switch the light on. I know that Silavent have discontinued this model and I cant find a...

Hi there, I awoke to find that my boiler was flashing an error code (3L) which, according to the manual, is a problem with the fan tacho. My boiler is a Buderus 500 - 24C. I followed the fault finding procedure in the manual (checking voltage to the fan board etc) and I found that when I just...

Saw this in a utility/electrical cupboard of a large stately house that I was at earlier for New Years celebrations. Inverter for the blower on the hot air heating system that the property has perhaps? It was mounted high up in the corner, and the room it was in was also near a large air...

Have an ideal icos boiler. When its been on for 10 mins or there abouts. It begins to hum quite loud as you can hear it from other rooms. After its hum for 10 to 20 mins it goes quiet again. Thinking its the fan? Is it dangerous to run like this? And is there an easier fix than replacing the...
