I have a light and exhaust fan in line (working) but when switched off cause a short. Any suggestions please?
Jul 14, 2008 by Sam | Posted in Do It Yourself (DIY)
It sounds like a short in the wiring before the switch. when you have the switch on the light and or fan act as a resistor and take up the heat energy that the short is causing.
when you turn off the light or fan then the heat is at the short this is blowing your breaker of fuse.
You need to get this fixed and soon as possible. You could loose you home because of it.
May be insulation break down in the wire before it gets to the switch.

bad switch?
Billy | Jul 14, 2008
It is best to wire them seperately using a two switch socket and plate. Then if it is a bad switch, (Not likely, but possible), you can solve your problem! It may just be a loose connection too.
I have found it is more of a convenience to have it wired seperately...which is why I suggested that.
Hope this helps!

Three possibilities.
1.You have a short in the wiring.
2. Or some dust or cob webs are across the terminals in the roof.
3.Or maybe the switch (unlikely).
Get an electrician in. (i should know cos i am one:)

Customer Reviews
Great fan. I have been looking for years.
I have been looking for years to find a replacement for the noisy cobbled exhaust fan the builder put in my attic to vent 3 bathrooms and the laundry room. Amazon is the last place I would consider to look for something like this. I only found it while I was looking for something else. I'd rather be lucky than smart.
This unit is quiet and easy to install. Their installation methods and hardware are very flexible. The 240 CFM size is adequate to exhaust four room outlets of 4" diameter each with major restrictors at the room outlets. I have the fan on a timer that runs 16 hours a day. The inlet of the fan unit is only a single 6" opening. You must construct your own inlet plenum for multiple inlet connections. A Y-connector or a T-connector works nicely.

Quietest kitchen fan yet
We have renovated several houses and have always installed Panasonic vent fans. They are among the quietest and most durable available (Fantech is also good). This is the first inline fan we have installed. We put it in the kitchen-- we don't need a fancy hood with fan over the stove, just a good exhaust fan to clear the occasional smoke or to cool the room. This fan moves lots of air (240 cfm), especially with the 6" duct we installed, but it is quieter than the 70 cfm ceiling fans we have put in previously.
