| Attic Fan Repair |
handyman |
09/28/04 |
I am having problems with my home attic fan that I am needing assistance with. My fan has a timer and a toggle switch to turn it to high and low. When I turn the switch on, along with the timer, the baffles will not open and the motor makes a humming sound. Sometimes when I leave the fan alone and try it again hours later the fan will work fine and come right on. Does anyone have any ideas what might be wrong with it? Does it sound like it might be the fan or could it be a bad wall switch or something like that? Does anyone have any expertise in something like this? Thanks |

When you say to "short the terminals" are you meaning to just unhook the wires and hook them to the multimeter? Thanks!

No. Take a screwdriver with a substantial rubber or plastic handle and contact both terminals at the same time with the blade. This discharges the capacitor protecting the meter and allowing the test to work.
