Our toilet extractor has, or so I thought, been failing (delayed startup, bit intermittent) for some time, and yesterday it finally stopped working. Vent-Axia Silhouette 100T.
It's going to be a bit of a pain to replace, so I though I would check the connections first just in case. Imagine my surprise when I put a meter on the incoming supply to find the live read 2.45v rather than 240v, and the switched-live some silly low reading I can't even remember. I thought my meter was broken, but I tested it elsewhere and it is fine. The lights in the toilet work, and the light switch controls the fan as usual. The switch (not a dimmer) is a simple MK single in/out wire, so I assume there must be a junction box somewhere in the ceiling, but if so that will not be easy to get to.
As an aside, would an Xpelair C4 or envirovent Silent-100 be better than another Vent-Axia should it need replacing? I would need a "plug-in" replacement due to cable placement etc.
Any help, ideas, or suggestions would be much appreciated.
