Homebase Humidity Control Extractor Fan - how do I open it!
scrub
Posts: 175 Forumite
My old bathroom extractor fan needs replacing. It was just a timer one and had four screws to remove the front to gain access to the wires.
I'm replacing it with a humidity control one but the front doesn't appear to come off. There are no screws but there's a release tab on the top but the bottom appears fixed.
I feel if I pull it, it will break the plastic case.
Any ideas?

Think carefully before jumping for Humidity control.
Disclaimer: My system was a standalone humidity control unit which controlled the fan.
Our fan was constantly on and we had to keep on turning the humidity to near max to get it to cut out, a complete pain. We lived with it for 1 year and then replaced it with a PIR switch for the fan.“Don't raise your voice, improve your argument." - Desmond Tutu

Use a knife blade to prise out that black plug, might be a white plug, on the front and undo the revealed screw.0

Thanks! I'll take it back then.
There is what looks like a white plug but I can't get it out at all.0
