• Hi all and welcome to TheWoodHaven2 brought into the 21st Century, kicking and screaming! We all have Alasdair to thank for the vast bulk of the heavy lifting to get us here, no more so than me because he's taken away a huge burden of responsibility from my shoulders and brought us to this new shiny home, with all your previous content (hopefully) still intact! Please peruse and feed back. There is still plenty to do, like changing the colour scheme, adding the banner graphic, tweaking the odd setting here and there so I have added a new thread in the 'Technical Issues, Bugs and Feature Requests' forum for you to add any issues you find, any missing settings or just anything you'd like to see added/removed from the feature set that Xenforo offers. We will get to everything over the coming weeks so please be patient, but add anything at all to the thread I mention above and we promise to get to them over the next few days/weeks/months. In the meantime, please enjoy!

Not sure if I need to worry ( yet ) but I noticed last week that the extractor had cut out for no apparent reason . No problem , once I noticed I switched it back on . But it happened several times , and today it switched itself off twice . Also , when I was packing up for the day , when I touched the red button on the wall switch , the switch " chattered " in a " mechanical " way . Bearing in mind that the arrangements are those I have been using for about 15 years , could it be the switch ? . Or the temperature ? .

Suggestions welcome .

We really need a bit more information, but taking a guess, if the switch is NVR, there will be a holding coil that keeps the contacts closed to power the motor. If sawdust has got into the switch box, it could be interfering with the contacts, so with the mains isolated, I would open the box and blow it out with an air line. That might solve the problem.
Of course it may not be a NVR and you might not have an air line.
 
Davel - just to follow up , I removed the switchbox cover , surprisingly there was not much dust at all , but I gave it blast with the airline and no problems since . Keeping an eye on it .
