Extractor Fan in bathroom

One day it worked and then later it stopped.

What could it be?

I am hoping there might be a fuse of something I can check.

Only been installed since Aug 2009.

i belive extractor fans need an isolator switch has this been knocked of by mistake??

could be the actual switch itself thats not working right. or it could be the wires in the switch not connecting properly.

could be the isolator switch. it might be fused if so then check the fuse. or isolator switch might be dodgy. or wires not connecting properly.

if that is ok then get someone to check it using a multimetre to see if power is getting to the actual fan. if it is then you have a dodgy fan. claim for it under the warranty.

or it could be the cables suplying the power to the fan. they will need checking with a multimetre.

had a problem with my fan very recently. turned out the screw i used (i lost the original screw) to hold the grill onto the fan was too long. i had screwed into the capacitor on the circuit board. picked a capacitor up from maplins. cost 43p! working fine now.

Thanks is the isolater switch the one outside the door that turns it on and off?

the isolator switch will be a seperate switch from the switch that you normally use to switch it on and off.

i have seen it mounted on the outside of the bathroom close to the ceiling in some houses but it could be anywhere.

really the first thing you should be doing is to check if a current is reaching the fan. if there is power going to the fan then the problem is with the fan, plain and simple.
