Vectaire Fans, Bathroom Always On But Slow

[killerking]

Hi

Can anyone help i have a Vectaire MF100 fan on a pull cord in the bathroom its not connected to the light switch, the problem i have is when i turn the fan off via pull cord the fan does slow down alot but its still on but slower. Any ideas, i cant see no timer on the fan casing or anything, just oustide the bathroom is a switch spur that controls the fans but there is also another switch spur with another bigger box under but dont know what it is -vectaire tr-12??

Any ideas guys why the fan is always on and what this TR-12 is. i have uploaded pics too.

That's a 12v transformer, not sure why the fan would be on permanently though.
Has it got a humidistat fitted?

Hi what is the transformer for? no it has no humidistat fitted.

Presumably that model is extra low voltage ie 12v.

I'd check again to see if it has a humidistat by the way as it seems some of those models do...

MF100s

• MF100 - basic model
• MF100T - timer
• MF1002C - 2 speed, cord
• MF1002R - 2 speed, remote
• MF100TD - delayed timer
• MF100H2R - humidistat, 2 speed, remote
• MF100H2C - humidistat, 2 speed, cord
• MF100HCT - humidistat, cord and timer

Its just the basic model MF100 2c lv i looked on the side of the fan

Maybe it's 2 speed and the cord just needs pulling again.

I just look on ebay for mf100 2c lv it says the fan has 2 speeds, which makes sence (still on but slow)but how do you turn it off or is it meant to be on all the time.

yes it 2 speed but pulling again just makes it go faster not off

There must be a remote switch then I'd guess if it's not wired through the light.

The only switch i have is a switch spur off/on. I wonder if it is surposed to run continuously and the slow movement is at trickle speed?

Quite possibly, are there any windows in your bathroom?

i have 2 windows in the bathroom, the council put them in 3 years back but i never used it, but i get a lot of mould/condensation around the windows in the winter, hence i want to start using it for ventilation
