tube & flap for exhaust fan in bathrom
Posted: Sun Sep 29, 2013 11:16 am
Hi,
Is there a fix for a flap to the bathroom exhaust fan.... the flap does not shut (I honestly dont know if it ever did since I've moved in or not)... BUT it currently doesnt close at all or open for that matter when turned on & off- it stays ajar all the time letting all the heat & cold in from outside... ANY suggestions? Do I have to put in a whole new flapper at the roof? Can this be done from inside the bathroom or do I have to get on the roof to fix it? My set-up is just a tunnel to the outside... the fan is in the tunnel part & the cover is just screwed into the fan & covers inside the bathroom ceiling. Thank you for your help.
