Product Information
Full details
This Fantronix 100mm extractor fan is designed for bathrooms, en-suites, and wet rooms, offering efficient moisture and odor removal with a quiet operation.

Troubleshooting
Fan does not operate
Check the mains power supply to the fan. Ensure the Live and Neutral connections are secure. Verify that the switch controlling the fan (e.g., light switch) is functioning correctly.
Reduced airflow
Clean the fan's fascia and internal components, including the fan blades. Check the ducting for any blockages or kinks. Ensure the backdraft shutter is not obstructed.
Noisy operation
Ensure the fan is securely mounted and there are no loose parts. Check the ducting for obstructions that might cause air turbulence. If noise persists, contact customer support.
