My parents bathroom extractor fan has been temperamental recently, sometimes dying but a slight pull of the switch apparently sorts it. So I had a quick look to see if there was a loose connection in the switch before getting a new one tomorrow.
The pull cord switched the fan on/off without any timer function, as the electrician that installed it wired the live and timer terminals together and used the pull cord switch as an isolator/ on of switch. So I'm going to fit a 1g DP switch for the fan isolator and replace the worn pull switch, wired for the timer live. Nice n easy but it should have been done at the install.
Looking further up the feed, the upstairs lighting JB is nice 😕 the new fan feed is bottom left, with the green electrical tape covering a bit of chock block.
Is it worth replacing the twisted connectors with Wago connectors in a new box?
