Anyone have an extractor fan like this?

[presta]

How pongy does your downstairs loo get? Could you just turn it off and forget it exists?

I put a fan in the bathroom to try to curb the mould. It used to run non-stop from when I showered first thing in the morning until bedtime, and never made any difference at all, so when it packed up I never bothered replacing it.

Well it clearly doesn't work anyway, so......

If you are going to yank it out, bear in mind that you will end up pulling more than the fan/extractor system down.

There will be damage to the ceiling as the type of fitting shown is designed to go one way only, up in this case. It's a hollow wall fitting.

Pah! Just a spot of "making good"......

The outer cover comes off by the screw in the centre behind the cap
once off you can get your fingers in to release the clips

Interesting....much to consider, and try!

Thanks all. I'll report back on progress, if any.

As others have said I would have expected the front to come off, failing that can you get a wire coat hanger into the void, attached to the clip to pull & break them, then the unit should hopefully drop on side, to then possibly twist & do the same to the clips at the other side.

Remember to disconnect the power before doing all of this.
