Extractor Fan Pull Cord Not Working

Typically this may be the case if you have lived in a house a while before cleaning your bathroom extractor fan.

Extractor fan pull cord not working.

Extractor fans with an integral timer or timed switch need a 3 core and earth supply to allow the unit to run on after a light is switched off. Well i then thought the unit must have broken so i went to screwfix and bought replacement fitted it and it still doesn t work.

Hi diyer here also 1st post gulp 8 i ve lived in my house for 30 years we have always had a 100mm pull cord type extractor fan in the bathroom. What i need to know now is what cord i need to buy and how i install it into the fan. To make sure it all works i have connected a plug to the the end of the wiring and all works. I changed the bulb for a new update one and it still didn t work.

I checked to see if all the wires were secure in the fan they were. Great range of trade products. It can also be adapted for separate switching if required. There was a cap over this which i haven t included in the photo.

It must also be possible to isolate the fan by means of a pull switch inside the bathroom or a fan isolation 3 pole switch outside of the bathroom. Now i ve started sharing my flat and would very much like it to work. Remove the cover and use a flashlight to examine the fan blades for dust and debris. After 3 years the seldom used bathroom extractor fan stopped working.

I have just installed an extractor fan in the bathroom and am now trying to connect it to come on with the light switch. Its connected to the light pull cord so switches on off with the light. We have a bathroom extractor fan and light on the same pull chord switch when the light stopped working i thought it was the bulb blown. This wiring plan will simply run the fan when the room light is on.

I didn t pay any attention because i rarely used it. I ve lived in this flat for 7 years it had been newly refurbished when i moved in. I have taken the cover off and marked in the image below where i think it goes. The accumulation of dust in the fan blades is one of the most common problems that may cause the bathroom extractor fan to stop working.

Hundreds of stores nationwide. Over the years it has stopped working and i have simply disconnected taken out old one and put in a new one same type eg. My bathroom extractor fan hasn t had a cord on it for a while since it fell off so i am going to replace it. Options include a manual pull switch and a vacuum time lag switch.

However recently it hasn t been working when i pull the light on no fan.
