I know they are prone to fail, on ceiling, switch outside room, is humming and wants to go but won't, so has power.

Was working.

How do you remove the cover? Presume clips or something? Don't want to start wedging screw drivers in there etc!!

Indents on either side, just push them in to release or maybe a small grub screw underneath.

Had to replace on in my son’s en-suite last weekend.

It was running, but the fan impeller had come off the shaft. Thought I could just reassemble, and the fan felt secure, but came off straight away when we tried it.

Couldn’t be bothered faffing any more so just changed the unit. I do need to renew the exterior shutter as it has lost one of the louvres. Probably a bit too high up for me to want to do it though!

Change it £20 only. Most have a timer so have a switched and perm live, so ensure you find the isolator or turn off in the consumer unit(fuse board)
