The power runs in the ceiling, with loop to the switch itself, which is also permanently live on one side. | |

| Nov 27, 2022 at 11:26 | comment | added | crip659 | UK power uses 220 volts, so you get more bang when you make a short, it also hurts much more than NA 120 volts. You probably blew the electronics in the fan from the short. Most newer stuff is not built for repair parts, mainly replacement. | |
