  • 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?

  • That doesn't look very neat and imo exposes abit too much cable. Especially near a bathroom where misture can be a problem.

    Also twist caps and chocolate blocks.
