    Had a similar issue with my system a few years back. Thought the extract fan had failed but was good when I checked it.

    The issue was a clogged extract grill (I had changed the grill for a ss bullnose type and in it was a fine mesh that got clogged with fine dust and organic growth over time)

    Thanks …….Opened up the unit after downloading instructions and messed around with bypass / freeze protection and after a while I could feel warm air ……..went back down from attic and it was extracting again …….no idea what I did but maybe the freeze protection mechanism had activated and not reset ……..working away fine again anyway 👍
