    Multi vent fan not working.

    Morning all.. I have just been to a regular customer who has a problem with their extractor fan, i.e it doesn't work. I have not come across these types of fans before. usually they are the small wall or ceiling mounted ones, or an in-line fan, all of which are cheap enough to just change. This...

    UK Ceiling Rose Wiring for Existing Fan

    Hi, I have an existing ceiling fan that I want to remove and replace with just a regular ceiling rose light. When I removed the rose, I found that the neutral has only one cable, so assumed this is the last light on the loop, but I'm confused as it appears that the S/L has two cables coming in...

    Refitting an extraction fan

    Hi, I need to refit a timed extract fan, there are three connections on the fan body, clearly marked, fine with that, but the supply cable from the ceiling is one cable only, one brown and one blue, the bare earth wire was just bent out of the way. It was working fine before disconnection. There...

    Can anyone tell me what this is inside my light socket on my ceiling fan?

    My ceiling lights were flickering, I found something sticking out of one of the three sockets. Only one looks like the picture. I put another bulb in there, it blew immediately and now the lights are no longer flickering.
