my toilet's exhaust fan went kaput when i tried to switched on this morning, i switched on for about 1 or 2 hours daily after pangsai daily, but the other exhaust fan bought same time, same brand are running 24H daily still going strong in my kitchen... this geos same with my LED ceiling lighting too, frequently turn on and off the light or the exhaust fan will shorten the life of it? what is the reason behind?

tumpang tanya, my fan is on 24/7, and now the fan seems to be turning very slow. in this case, should i change the fan or ....

it's been nearly 20 years. thanks.

WOW, 20years on for 24/7?? dam thats miracle, but i heard someone said if turing slow, just change the capasitor and its good to go again...

i have a 50 year old kdk fan running strong too, past down for 2 generation. Just won't die

yeah, i got 1 too, i still remember the table fan was really heavy, and the blades are made of thick steel... the casing also steel... how come nowadays they dont make electrical stuff like that anymore...

Why is the kitchen exhaust fan running 24/7??

cooking meth kot.

to prevent the moisture goes into the living room... and to prevent kitchen's smells slipped into living room too... my kitchen are heavily used, so it has certain smell even if i am not using/cooking... so i put an exhaust fan to keep the smell and moisture away...

Change cap.

Frequent ON/OFF can shorthen the lifespan. But all very depend on the lifespan design.

Mechanical start/stop shock will wear and tear some portion.

Same with electronic/ electrical. Switching produce ark which is a high surge voltage that can damage component. Ark is cause by carbon built up at the contact in the switch.



1st Change the capacitor. Cheapest solution. Capacitor probably cause you less then RM10. But if it is remote control type, few capacitor need to change.

2nd the bearing.

Too much job? Chnage the whole fan lor.

make too good, consumer buy one time kedai tutup loh. thats why today so many cheap thing but jgn harap will last long, because its mostly pakai buang.

I wonder if the stinky air from toilet caused degradation of the exhaust fan's components.

Great advise, bro.

Fans made in the olden days can tahan damn 9 long. But nowadays, tahan 2 years you can already bersyukur.

i wonder maybe is the thick moisture air did it... but not sure

frequent on/off means frequent thermal expansion/contraction in the components of the circuitry which leads to microscopic fissures in said components eventually leading to their premature failure

good for manufacturer but not good for our pocket and the environment.... too many electrical waste...

this one is guarantee panasonic brand

panasonic - legendary

national - god tier

Change to 'KDK'..
