The fan is in the "Timer Mode". This can be set from 1-16 hours. If the timer was turned on and the fan was not running at the time, the fan will not start until the timer turns off.

I assume that could be more than one thing. Easiest first: Does the little LED on the transmitter come on when you press the buttons? If not, check your batteries and their proper installation. If the batteries are good, and you see the LED, can you turn the fan's light on and off? If not you may have no power to the fan. When you installed the fan, are all of the connectors inside of the fan housing properly connected? The fan's receiver my be disconnected. I don't have the installation instructions handy, and I installed three different fans, so I am not clear on the details anymore. It's been years. Lastly, if none of the above helps, contact the seller or manufacturer or see if there are problem reports and solutions on line.

Make sure the little switch is positioned in the center Position. Left is OFF. Center is Timer program, and right position is on continuous. If the clock rotates automatically then it is wired correctly. If it still does not turn off then I don't know what the problem could be other than a mechanical failure.

Either they have changed the specifications, or your unit is defective. The fan on my unit only comes on when I've had it under heavy load for awhile, then shuts off awhile after the load is reduced.

It's off when it's off, unless it's wired with a relay such as an electric fan. Then it lights up when my electric fan thermostat kicks it on. That let's me know the fan is running.

If the light AND heated failed simultaneously you might have overloaded the circuit breaker. My electrician put in a whole new circuit for the heater wiring so as to not overload the existing light/exhaust fan wiring. I read some reviews of the Broan unit before buying. A few folks reported the heating element failing shortly after installation. I've had mine for almost a year and use the heater regularly. So far no problem. Good luck.

The light is on when the door is open. The timer will work as just a timer without the unit working or heating, however it will not work independently if in use.

On the model that I have the fan can be turned on seperately, but not by the timer. It must be done manually.

The humidity sensor is not on unless you turn it on. If you have a timer turn it on, the sensor will not be working.

This happened to be but it was because I had not connected the light mechanism. I wanted to see if my electrical connections worked before I installed the light housing so I turned the fan on and click, nothing. After I plugged in the light mechanism the fan began to spin. Btw, I never used the red wire coming from the house....hope this helps.

You can easily turn it on/off manually. When the fan is running it will only stay on for the set time interval.

Make sure you have a 120 volt supply line not 240 volt. If you have the correct voltage then make sure the timer disc is properly seated which I suspect you have done, then it is probably a faulty timer.

When the fan was installed the electrician mentioned a lot of options about how it could be wired. We went the simplest route. We do nothave a timer feature. It is possible that was one of the options.

Your timer may not be shutting off all power to the device. I would use a test light and check for current.

Do you have the fan light pull cord 'on'? Plus the fan speed pull cord is suppose to be on 'high'? It tells you that you need to have them set this way; mine has worked perfectly for the last 3 months. Only other thing I can think of is; that the connections in the remote in the fan are not connected good or they are not tucked up where the fan blades don't bump into it.

You need to replace the little electric motor in there. It is a replaceable part. You will need the serial number of the timer. Good luck.
