Could someone please hep me with to solve my problem with my bathroom extractor fan. There is no window in my first floor bathroom only extractor for ventilation. The problem in winter is that the bathroom became too steamy and the extractor cannot cope.

I was told the extractor hose could be blocked. The size of my bathroom is about 6 x 6 square feet.

I am afraid the humidity might affect the lights in the bathroom. How can I make my bathroom safe? Please help.

Assuming the fan motor is not running at all, the problem can be anywhere, a bad breaker or switch, a loose connection anywhere in the circuit.

If the fan motor is running, the duct can be blocked or crushed, or it came apart.
