    I would suggest that despite your protestations you've clearly connected it incorrectly and returned a fully functional fan.

    Get an Electrician.

    As above.

    Electrics and bathroom environments don't mix well.

    Household electrics in any room and lack of competence don't mix well.

    Are you sure it was the original fan that was at fault? Maybe something is wrong with the wiring.
    If it sticks, force it.
    If it breaks, well it wasn't working right anyway.
