Troubleshooting

Fan not turning on

Check that the power supply is connected and the circuit breaker is engaged. Ensure the fan switch (if applicable) is in the 'on' position. For timed or sensor models, verify the trigger conditions are met.

Low airflow or noise

Check the ducting for any blockages or kinks. Clean the fan grille and blades. Ensure the duct connection to the fan is secure and not leaking.

Fan runs constantly (timer model)

If the timer is set incorrectly, it may appear to run constantly. Consult the manual to adjust the timer settings. If the issue persists, the timer module may need service.

Fan not responding to humidity sensor

Ensure the humidity sensor is clean and unobstructed. Verify that the humidity level in the room is high enough to trigger the sensor. Check the sensor's sensitivity settings, if adjustable, as per the manual.

Excessive vibration or noise

Ensure the fan is securely mounted and not loose. Check for any foreign objects obstructing the blades. If vibration persists, the motor bearings might be worn, requiring professional assessment.

If your model includes a pull cord, timer, or humidity sensor, follow the specific wiring diagrams provided in the manual for these functions. For safety, it is recommended that electrical connections are made by a qualified electrician.
  4. Ducting Connection: Attach the ducting to the fan's outlet spigot, securing it with a clamp if necessary.
