The old one was a pull cord fan whereas I bought a timer one (no pull cord) thinking I could use the isolator switch (which is directly below the fan) as the on/off switch. The cabling is a 3 core and on the new fan there’s...

    I have a countdown timer switch hooked up to run my washroom fan. It stopped working all of a sudden. I replaced it with a regular switch and the fan worked. I took the old timer switch and hooked it up to another different washroom fan, and the old switch worked. What am I missing?
