I need to replace a Ventaxia Solo Plus HT centrifugal fan with overrun timer and humidistat. It's only about 3 years old but the fan started pinging against the casing and has now jammed. Also the cover clips were of poor-quality plastic that only reengaged about 10 times before one of them gave up. I'm therefore not keen on buying another the same.
The humidistat settings need adjusting quite often and in particular are very different in summer and winter. The fan is awkwardly positioned for access (on the ceiling directly above the bath/shower) and opening it to mess inside with a screwdriver is a real pain, involving fetching ladders and twisting my neck to get at the internal screws. I'd really to find a replacement with an external knob to control the humidistat without needing to open the case. I've looked around on the Web but haven't found one that's available in the UK. Any ideas? [I've seen axial fans with external knobs, but not centrifugal ones, and this has a
2-metre run of low-profile ducting beneathe the floo above so really needs to be centrifugal].Thanks!
