I didn’t want to go to the hardware store so i tried to fix the fan myself. I got it working again so now my wife will be very pleased.

    That was the first fix I made after we bought our current house.

    It was noted during the inspection that it didn’t work, so I bought a replacement. When I started to install the new one, I took the vent cover off the old one and noticed there was a 2-prong plug inside that was unplugged. Plugged that in, and the fan started working.

    Apparently previous owner just didn’t like the fan or something? There’s clearly nothing wrong with it because it’s been working perfectly since I “fixed” it 7 years ago. And if/when it does go out, I’ve still got the replacement I bought way back then.

      Is it anlight fan combo that its both on with one switch? I can see it being annoying for like being able to hear intruders or kids if its one of those screamer fans that drowns out all sounds. Great for pooping, not so much anything else.
