Extractor Fan Repair – Quick Fixes for Bathroom & Kitchen Fans in Nuneaton

Got a noisy or dead extractor fan? You’re not alone. Most households in Nuneaton face a fan that stops pulling air when it’s needed most. The good news? You don’t have to live with stale air, moldy walls, or a constant hum. A proper repair can restore airflow in minutes and save you from a costly replacement.

First, check the power. It sounds basic, but a tripped breaker or a loose plug is the culprit in 30% of cases. Flip the switch, reset the circuit, and see if the fan whirrs back to life. If the fan still stays silent, the issue is likely inside the unit.

Common Extractor Fan Problems

Most fans fail for one of three reasons: a blocked vent, a worn motor, or a faulty switch. A blocked vent is easy to spot – look for dust, grease, or cobwebs covering the grille. A quick clean with a vacuum brush can often bring the fan back to full speed.

When the motor sputters or stops, it might be overheating or its bearings could be worn out. You’ll hear a humming sound before the fan dies. Swapping the motor is a job for a qualified technician because it involves wiring and safety checks.

The switch, whether wall‑mounted or inline, can wear out after years of use. If the fan works when you power it directly but not from the wall, the switch is the problem. Replacing a switch is cheap and usually takes under an hour.
