I want to replace a 6" wall mounted extractor fan in my kitchen as its not working.

I have a replacement with a humidity control. I believe for this function to work you need to have the switched live connected?

The current setup is a fused switched on the wall beside the fan but only has a live and neutral cable running from it. The fan is a pull cord version.

Can I connect a switched live wire to the fan very easily? If not, is the fan likely to get too hot running for long periods of time?

Thanks!

No the whole idea of the humidity control is you leave it powered up all the time and it auto switches on when required.

Does your new fan have live and swithed live terminals?

I'd have thought that if it has built in humidistat, then you just wire it up and leave it switched on, which then lets the humidistat decide when to actually operate the fan.
