  • Extractor fan in bathroom isn’t shutting off - only way to get it to stop is turn the lighting circuit off and the consumer unit. But as soon as you turn the bathroom light on it starts up again. Taken cover off and cleaned it up but there’s a squeaking noise. I am not handy - time for a spark?

  • Probably - do you care to keep the fan going or happy to have it off permanently?

  • Is it a timer or a moisture-sensing circuit that keeps it going for a time after you turn off the light? These usually have a small rheostat that adjusts the sensitivity / time. Maybe turning that will kick it back into normal operation.

  • Or buy an identical one and swap it yourself. If the ceiling / wall is in good order it’s not that difficult a job.
