    Smeg Cooker Cooling Fan

    The oven cooling fan in a Smeg A4-5 cooker needs attention/replacement – the bearings are noisy. Does anyone know whether the whole cooker has to be removed to access the fan? Also, I know the fan is a left-hand motor. Does anyone know its length? Thanks for any thoughts.

    LED/Ceiling Fan conflict

    I have three 6" LED wafers and a ceiling fan on the same circuit/switch.
