The room is not totally air tight. Can anyone help?

    It is likely that your fan is currently set to pull air up instead of down. It is sometimes difficult to feel the air movement when it is set this way. Look for a small slide switch on the side of the motor, move it and the blade direction will reverse.

    Good point. Is it spinning clockwise or counter-clockwise?
